Viewing Notes

Beautiful film with spectacular hair, makeup, and costumes.  Epic road trip.  Realized I had seen this film before - years ago.  Great rewatch and great to see it in the theater.  However, first time I have considered raising a card to alert management to a really LOUD talker in the row in front of us.  But, it is such a fun movie, that I couldn’t be too annoyed.  Maybe she thought it was a quote-along showing.  Anyway - amazing to see Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce in all of their youthful glory.
