Viewing Notes

Round 2 - still a top 5 movie of the year… perhaps top 3

Def loses a little already knowing the central mystery and how it plays out. Its greatest strength on the first viewing is the mystery and relishing how it unfolds. Second viewing is neat to notice details in the beginning as each character story is told.

Also crystallizes the allegory of present day school shootings, the grief, the aftermath, the witchhunt, etc. The final shot is the most poignant as Archer carries his son away, irrevocably damaged.

Was amazed to have a big crowd on a Tuesday night in the 4th biggest/best screen at Promenade. Fun to hear the whispers and reactions at the right moments. Madigan and Abrams still MVP followed by Garner and Ehrenreich.
