Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3016345, member: 93"] Oh, he was absolutely convincing in the spiral. The Grammy pee scene made me cringe, but it was well done. I just don't love watching it--same with [I]Leaving Las Vegas[/I] and even [I]Crazy Heart[/I], which was pretty similar to ASIB imo, to a certain extent. I end up losing patience with the character going through the spiral, but I guess that's the point. I hear you about [I]Roma[/I]. If I wasn't in the isolation ward with the flu a few weeks ago I don't know when I ever would have seen it. It is a very patient, slow burn and it requires that you be awake, pay attention and be up for a somewhat meditative movie. It is beautifully shot in black and white with interesting lighting, but nothing jumps out at you. When it ended I was kind of like "WTF was that?" But it stayed with me for the next several hours and days, and I liked it more and more upon reflection, for the humanity of it as much as anything else. [/QUOTE]
