As with Sully I admire its nuances and evasions of cliché but also craved a deeper probe. García and the boys are great.
Second Capsule:
As usual with Sachs's films, more nuances emerge on second viewing. Still, this one doesn't hit me as earlier ones did.
VOR:④
Even if the movie risks too much on elision and miniaturism, movies could use more of those storytelling strategies. You can almost see a real New York here.
