The Descendants

Another tragicomedy about Paynefully unhappy people. Clooney’s most down to the earth performance, with only one ‘look at my eyebrows’ lapse, is a bit like Schmidt turned sideways. Supported by comedic bit player army and truly ascendant kids. Forster’s first forcible performance and Lillard proves that he’s still pretty shag-y.

Mulholland Dr.

Experimental film that improves dramatically with each viewing. Difficult to criticize terrible performances, particularly from Watts, as they were intentionally bad. Attempting to comprehend the plot is waste of time that will make you want to Lynch the director. Look forward to equally dissatisfying blue box and lesbian sex scenes.
