I felt Our Sunhi was an amusing but ephemeral title that is only worth watching once. Funny and embarrassing because we all ramble on and repeat others but not essential. The Great Passage was much better. A great cast that bring great performances to a script which is kind and intelligent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-6587953661850726982013-10-04T11:59:53.297-07:002013-10-04T11:59:53.297-07:00I'm glad Dolan has decided to test new waters,...I'm glad Dolan has decided to test new waters, even if it's not a film that many will be excited about. I think the work he's done here is actually a step forward in direction and editing, and that is encouraging for whatever comes next.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-44786776549012789872013-10-04T11:55:47.155-07:002013-10-04T11:55:47.155-07:00You know, I was just asking myself the same thing....You know, I was just asking myself the same thing.

It doesn't sound like Nebraska is one of Payne's absolute best, but as Steven said, I'll see it anyway, because I'm a fan.<br /><br /><br />That's disappointing Dolan has gone away from the epic style of L Anyways, but you can't blame him for going in a new direction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-43405039479940660492013-10-01T21:43:18.516-07:002013-10-01T21:43:18.516-07:00I've got my eyes open for a couple of these, b...I've got my eyes open for a couple of these, but.. Is it just me, or is 2013 just not as great as previous years with film presentation at these festivals?
