You had me at Olivia Cooke, bald man.

Olivia Cooke.

Oh, and Riz is pretty good too.

 

[Schlosser85]

Sounds interesting premise.

 

[Luigi]

Raves all around at TIFF.

Looks like it’ll be a beautiful film!

[3rdstone]

This looks great. The subject/story is really interesting.

 

[Luigi]

Looks great! I'm so ready.

 

[Persona]

Wow.

Darius Marder made the best Derek Cianfrance movie yet, haha.

Can't say enough about Riz Ahmed. Powerful.

Paul Raci was also great. And the sound design deserves every award it gets.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Definitely one of the best films to come out this year. The sound design is amazing and its incredibly well acted by both Riz Ahmed and Olivia Cooke. I also loved how the the supporting characters/extras were used in this who all felt like very natural actors IMO, but maybe that's just me.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

It's good.

Ahmed as the centerpiece gives a very good performance, as does Raci and Cooke.

If you like drama like Aronofsky's The Wrestler ( ) you'll probably like this.

Threads need a merge.

Whoops!

I swore I looked for another thread but these things ain't easy to find sometimes, especially when the search function is, well, not great on my phone.

This was wonderful. I was lucky enough to win a screener to this in November and it's been on my mind sense. I really hope Ahmed, Raci, and the film in general are in a lot of Oscar discussions.

 

[CaptainWagner]

This was so good! I'm happy to see Ahmed has shot up the charts in odds for an Oscar nod, but Raci isn't getting much buzz. Which would be the snub of the year, IMO, because his performance here is mesmerizing.

 

[Luigi]

Five oscar noms! I'll be shocked if it loses Best Sound.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I just watched this. God, what a powerful film. I don't care about the Oscars, but I am glad to see Rici get recognition at least for his excellent performance. The ending, that song that plays in the credits. Perfect. It hit me. One of the best movies of 2020.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Rici was such a question mark for an Oscar nomination so I'm glad he got in, and that Riz and the film itself got so many nominations. It ended up being on my Top 10 list for last year.

 

[Lasirius]

Loved this film, glad it’s getting recognized.
