53. "Played even better to me second time through..." In response to In response to 0
Structurally, tonally, thematically, all of it comes to surface a bit more on second viewing. This thing feels sprawling but it's actually pretty tightly constructed. I laughed out loud a lot more this time around, too, and it became crystal clear what a really awesome, CONTROLLED performance Phoenix gives.
Yup, second viewing confirmed it's a great movie. I'm betting a good chunk of y'all who didn't like it will come around in a few years...
