    Owes a huge debt to Rye Lane (and other walk-and-talk movies), so obviously I dug this. Bonus points for making Toronto look decidedly un-magical.

    Ruffalo’s performance is calibrated too high, too big for the movie he’s in. But I thought the rest of it worked pretty well. Pattinson is tremendous and I appreciated how all the best and worst aspects of humanity continued onto the ship and colony.

    Clearly better than the Coens’ version, but it’s not an uncrossable chasm.

    20 years later, it’s still not bad. But something still feels off about the whole enterprise. Part of the problem when you have a batting average as high as the Coens.

    On their own, each short is worth watching. Taken together, it’s one of the most moving films of the year.
