I saw this last night and Elizabeth Moss was great considering she was doing a one woman show. The ending is kind of stupid and raises a lot of questions if you stop to think about it, but it was much better than I thought it would be.
Yeah, basically from the moment [redacted] offers [redacted] a “solution,” it starts to steadily wobble off the rails, before it kinda crashes into the ocean at the very end. However, it’s to the movie’s credit that the audience is still with it, despite all these late-stage improbabilities. It’s damn good, up until then.
Love hearing IV talk film
I think the best Invisible Man bit was the one from Amazon Women on The Moon (which was basically a skit show as movie; some skits worked and others didn’t).
This movie fucking rules.
How ‘bout a movie where the whole cast is invisible?
