Viewing Notes

Daniel Day-Lewis’ first film since PHANTOM THREAD in 2017. This dude needs to make more movies. Watching him again is just a reminder of how freaking good he is. He delivers a couple of long monologues that are riveting.

The film itself is a little disappointing, kind of slow and ponderous. Ronan Day-Lewis does have a good visual sense, and there’s an apocalyptic-like hailstorm near the end that sort of reminded me of the rain of frogs in MAGNOLIA.
