I'm not a big fan of Ben Stiller, and the only movie of his that I liked was The Royal Tenenbaums. Masked with an ensemble cast, he can hold his drama chops but I've never seen him lead in one. While the movie doesn't give much away, his character seems to be apart from the usual personas he portray. Hopefully, this is good and brings a starter back to his career. If played right, it might be one of those hidden gem movies. The cinematography looks great, and it somewhat gives of a Stranger than Fiction vibe.
This actually looks rather incredible. Far better than I expected, and I have a feeling that this could be a surprise Oscar contender!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd have to wait and see more for me to consider it a contender, but it looks good.
DeleteI feel like the early early buzz had been that we should expect great things, and I'm totally willing to do that. We'll see what happens when we get to hear more of the actual dialogue, but so far so good...
ReplyDeleteIt looks charming, so hoping it doesn't disappoint!
