Twitter Capsule: An interesting movie, and even more so as a challenge to what movies are. We never fully get these folks—part of the point.

VOR: ⑤  You say tomato, I say tomahto, you say an apotheosis of Cassavetes's renegade vision, I say a fascinating sketch toward a style that fully flourishes later. Either way, indispensable.
