I didn’t experience the emotional connection/catharsis I thought I would with this film because the tone/vibe felt…off. The script writing was stilted and the film score felt so disconnected from the content of each scene. Stars given reflect strong performances from Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, stellar set design at the Airbnb house, and absolute 🔥 costume fits for Tilda

Such a delight to watch this film at the opening night of SIFF’s 50th annual festival (s/o to Brynna for scoring tix)
June Squibb, Fred Hechinger, and Josh Marolin were so endearing during the post-film Q&A
As for the film, it’s an action thriller like I’ve never seen before 😂 Yes, the comedic element is centered around the difficulties of aging, but the film expertly stays away from self-pity, instead finding ways to celebrate our resolve to navigate the ups and downs of all the phases of our lives and the people who help us along the way

The story + setting + music are perf for a holiday movie outing with the fam. I kinda was hoping to see an edge/melancholic side of Willy in Timmy’s portrayal, but any exploration of that felt a bit superficial, keeping the tone upbeat + heartfelt. All the same, this was v cute and charming and I had fun watching it!
