Every year we get a movie focused on addiction or the trials and tribulations of the average Joe and it’s the exact same lifeless portrait that gets at least 1 awards nomination. Last year it was called Causeway and the year before that it was called Four Good Days. To be absolutely sterile and boilerplate with this subject is incredibly dishonest and backwards, resulting in projects everyone will forget including the stories in the real world that won’t be recognized. 306
Very odd to see disassociated celebrities praise a performance with essentially no previous marketing and recognition. I guess the last minute campaign worked as it got Riseborough a nomination and got people talking all about it. Whatever blackmail the filmmakers have against these celebrities- I really hope it was worth it. 306
