funniest film I've seen in a minute. this monologue by Alan Arkin has been living in my head for over 24 hours. I love that some of this scene would clearly fall into an outtakes reel at the end of most other movies, but it works here. also, that Arkin is the director and kept in this take.

brilliant. beautiful and funny and heartwrenching and silly and all around fantastic. the more i think about this movie the more i love it. tells an unconventional tale of self-confidence, self-sabotage, regret and jealousy, etc etc the ending was a bit silly but i can look past it lol. what a fantastic cast and fantastic production. they frame things throughout as if it were to look like a stage production only for that to be the eventual main plot point. one of my favorite scenes (if not films) of the year

even though it also made me cry, this movie really made me laugh. Especially the scene with the statue, but also a lot of other times. No big comedy punchlines, just the funny awkwardness of daily human existence.
Kieran Culkin is such a funny actor, I had a huge crush on Roman Roy. love that also in this movie, even though his characters carry a sadness/heaviness, they’re still super witty and playful.

My favorite of the handful of movies I watched this week. No frills, no effects, not 2+ hours long—just a very human story told exceptionally well. Stunning, heartbreaking. This is ACTING!
