Viewing Notes

One of the best films of the year for me. I really loved this.

In the pre-movie Q&A, Aronofsky mentions AFTER HOURS and SOMETHING WILD as influences, and I thought this film definitely captures the mood of those films (it would make a great triple feature).

Austin Butler is very good as the innocent guy who unwillingly gets dragged into the craziest situations, having to deal with a wonderful cast of nutty characters. I may be biased, but the fact that Butler is a SF Giants fan is a huge plus! Also loved that darned cat.

Side note: the viewing was nearly ruined by a woman sitting behind me who kept clearing her throat through the entire freaking movie!
