Viewing Notes

Seated in screen 18*. Not ideal but it’s not showing at the Drafthouse ::shrug emoji::

*so* close to being a Christmas movie! Love having it set in Buffalo. I am slightly nostalgic for that city and my time spent living there.

Overall I really dug this adaptation once I settled into this filmmaking style so different from the 1947 film. Very nice acting across the board.

*the did not turn down the house lights despite me leaving the theater to tell them. So goddamn annoying.
