Viewing Notes

Pretty packed show, and mostly an older audience, which seemed to fit since it’s Boulder. I liked the movie quite a bit except for the very end. Excellent screenplay, great character development especially for Brit Marling’s character. The entire cast is excellent, but especially Marling and Page who do standout jobs in their roles.

I was proud of the woman who got out of her seat and went down to the front rows to ask a trio of people to please turn off their cell phones, which they’d been using for much of the film (even taking a call at one point. Seriously). Unbelievably they refused and kept them on. The woman then went and got management who warned them, but didn’t kick them out.

Some people are just worthless assholes.
