Thanks for the memories!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
