Toni Colette is really in a league of her own for being lovably hateable.

Empire of the Sun 1987
The first two-thirds of the movie has some very rough annoying precocious kid stuff such that it was a chore to sit through. Towards the end there's some great stuff though. The Nantou stadium scene is particularly haunting.

It's like they made an adult drama with just the worst parts of an Indiana Jones movie

Family Viewing 1987
There were some parts of the first half of the film where the blend of family sitcom, home video and more naturalistic aesthetics were sort of hitting me on a Lynchian level - although it could have used less rapid shot reverse shot - but as the plot built up it sort of overtook the film. Interesting, but the themes are explored much better in Egoyan's 90s work.
