In regards to J.K Simmons.

I havent seen a performance since Denzel in Training Day where I kept WAITING for the character to finally change (for the good)

when he said "I know it was you" I had that :dwillhuh::lupe::damn: all at once.

In a way the end was like if Hoyt said fukk it I'm joining Alonzo at the end :wow:


Ok, probably a terrible comparison:pachaha: But I thought his performance was fantastic.

JK kept rocking Miles to sleep too. Kept thinking he had a friend.

This IMDB trivia. Did more in less time than major motion pictures. :wow:

The film was shot in 19 days.

The film was shot, edited, and submitted into Sundance in ten weeks.







Early drafts of the original screenplay was written as a psychological thriller.
:wow:

You weren't expecting the twists and turns the first time around.
i think i said it earlier. the first time i watched it, i liked it, but i forgot about it the next day. this time i just enjoyed it more. maybe i was in a better mindset or something, no idea.

Finally saw this.

I haven't watched a proper movie that impacted me like this and had my heart beating in such a long time. You really can't ask for more.

Best lines of the movie were looks. The look of his dad as he realizes what he's watching, the look at the end. I love that. Insanity in the pursuit of greatness, a bloodymindedness I have never felt in my life.
