brilliant actors, brilliant editing
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
