What did you think of this? Felt Lynchish, I also liked how it

Loved it.

I liked Isla Fisher as the scared wife

The whole point of the movie was for him to prove her wrong.

So I thought the ending was pretty wholesome.
Good movie.

A man getting stood up at a restaurant is expected

a woman getting stood up at a restaurant is devastating

why

Very good film, well made and acted, bravisomo thomas, jake, amy

Have any of you read the book? Is it worth it to get more out?

The film was filled with basic technical and general filmmaking flaws

>Amy and Jake are underutilised, Shannon and Johnson outshine them all (and it's certainly not because of Ford)
>Jake has an accent which he loses depending on the take (not the narrative)
>out of place bad editing between wide shots and close up's
>jarring color pallete difference between the two narratives that doesn't blend at all
>a lot of "I'm acting!" scenes and cheesy oneliners
>framing and composition of the landscapes felt like a film student trying to copy NCFOM landscapes
>all the night scenes have too bright obvious lighting like it's brightest moon in existence
>laughable phoneclip jump scare scene
>too on the nose symbolism with clues being literally spelled out in text form behind the characters

All these are meant between takes, not the two narratives. Except my color grading point, but I still stand by it.

The movie is filled with scenes where you "see" that it is an actor acting infront of a camera, just take a shot everytime Amy Adams character stops reading the book and looks at the ceiling all nervous and aggravated, you will be drunk halfway into the movie.

I don't think it's awful, but it's not something worth of praise either.
Quite apparent that Ford is first and foremost a fashion designer, not a film director.

hmm, not sure i agree. the oppressive atmosphere is the only real thing in common

i liked it though even if it suffered from less-than-stellar lead performances (gyllenhaal and adams both). michael shannon and ATJ, but the former especially, both totally stole the show in this
