GDT is definitely pushing the stylizing at least up to the line where I lose interest. The fabulous cast, actors sticking together for actors, could raise it a level. The trailer is something of a disaster in that it doesn't give enough clues about what the fuck this is all about.

I'm a maybe depending on reviews from critics and this thread. You guys have steered me to some pretty great stuff:

  • Derry Girls
  • Fleabag
  • The Wire
  • Deadwood

To name just a few things I would never have given a chance otherwise. It makes me sad to see so many threads dedicated to comic book heroes and other super natural stuff of which only the very best interest me.

Was here to post that the trailer did nothing for me but the cast had my interest.

just saw it.  thought it was good, but agree that it may have been a bit too long (and i never complain about that shit like so many people do).

Spoiler

Cron has finally died down enough that I saw this today.  I thought it was good but I like most con movies.  Cooper and Mara really stood out.  I'd like to see the original now.

Whole lotta meh.

Don’t have the old dude mention something about “when you really the power” and not pay it off with Stan actually being a real medium. This felt like a first draft that needed some tighter editing in the first hour along with fleshing out character motivations.

Watched it last night on HBO.  I thought is was good.  Very well acted and definitely could have trimmed it up a bit.  I'd recommend.

Don't really understand Blanchet's motivation to fuck with Cooper.  I guess she was just so pissed that he embarrassed her at the first showing that she had to show him that she can run circles around him?

I mostly liked it (although it was too long and I definitely liked the first hour or so more than the rest, but yeah, I didn't understand that at all either.
