Interesting film. Really don’t know what to think of it. May need to watch it again but there is no evidence of a deeper desire for any of these characters, seemingly, and yet I was hooked.
Same thing really with the gaps with these characters. I think they had me hooked, hoping and desiring to learn more about these characters, utilizing the plot to almost hide the need to present anything more than the depths of their character. An interesting…
Beautiful performance from Daniel Day Lewis, and Paul Dano. Due to it being a adaptation from the book there are some noticeable gaps in terms of character development; enough to be making a note of it.
Enjoyed this film very much. Paul Thomas Anderson binge may have to happen soon.
Characters are fun but that’s about it. Wasn’t invested in the story or journey of the characters. The tropes/structure stood out like a sore thumb especially towards the second half of the film.
Jokes felt forced and in an attempt to be funny (many jokes splattered time and time again throughout the film) just missed the mark. Often the found portions of the film that weren’t obviously attempting to be comical, got a chuckle out of me.
This film absolutely excels when it comes to the subtle nuances of storytelling. The Art Direction, use of color and contrast are all combined to create a visual story that is both beautiful and compelling.
The main characters were written well with solid inner and outer goals. My only vice is I’d like to know alittle more about the maybe the mother, but definitely the father. We don’t really get to know about him outside of the trauma the family…
