I do find this fascinating....the man was truly ignored for many, many years by the decision makers in that industry. Seems a fine actor (was gonna watch The Whale a couple of days ago.....they wanted 19.99 to stream it). So now he's a massive money pull. But really what's touching are his feels, which make me want to watch the movie....the premise might make me mildly want to, but that kind of movie for me is really dependent on my mood.....that's a serious subject and I don't always like that kind of film, but he himself compels me to it. I sincerely hope it turns for him. He seems such a very nice person, and all of us can use more nice people in a world of venal assholes

I went in pretty blind but I had heard excellent things about it. If a true character study isn't your cup of tea, you might not like it. I didn't think it would be able to grip me because it's an adapted play. My god, was it an absolute masterpiece. Everyone rightfully talks up Brendan Fraser's performance but literally everyone in this film is firing on all cylinders. Sadie Sink is fucking amazing.

19.99 is cheaper than a movie ticket in some cities. It’s worth it.
