That’s pretty shitty to label her the worst person in the world. Oh, movie title. Right.
Since I seem to be in the midst of a Renate Reinsve-ssaince the last few months, I took this in today.
I don’t know what to think. When you think it’s normal, it goes weird. When you think it is weird, it goes surreal. When you think it is surreal, it goes slow art-house drama.
Random bloody noses, interpretive dance numbers, amazing cinematography fitting of the best horror films, dynamic characters and great actors … but WTF? How is this so normal and so bizarre all at once?
It could be a play. It could be a courtroom drama.
I am so confused, yet really liked it anyway.

We finally overlapped. I didn't care for it though; it kind of lost me about half-way through. It didn't help having the sound bleed over from Captain America next door. Plus, I had to wait at the concession area for ten minutes while the family in front of me had a long discussion while they were buying everything.

Wait!!! Were you the ONLY OTHER person in the theater!? I almost said something about the movie as we were walking out!
I’m sorry I didn’t say something (not that we probably would have reached this point in the conversation).
Yes, the bleed over from Captain America. At least I got this week’s poster. They claim they never got last week’s.

Yes, that was me. The bleed over is why I got up and moved to the other side of the theater about twenty minutes into the movie. Afterwards, I recalled that when I saw the Almodóvar film in theater 11 last month I had the same problem. They probably shouldn't put the quiet artsy films in the theater next to the iMAX.
I almost said something too, but sometimes those only two people interactions get weird. .
