Hello, glad to be here as always.
I also enjoyed it for a few reasons.
One, as Aisha says, because it just, you cannot help but be reminded of who's afraid of Virginia Woolf.
Also, like, I'm really happy to see Edward Norton in a comic role just making a fool of himself.
And then the other thing I think that's really enjoyable about this is I fully admit that I like movies about people's messy relationships and marriages.
Yes.
And this one is particularly messy, but then it's quite thoughtful as well.
So as much as we are sort of...
treated to being an audience to these people's dysfunction and maybe feeling smug about the lack of dysfunction in our own lives.
It's almost unexpectedly touching.
But I think the way that Olivia Wilde directed this script by Rashida and Will, it works really seamlessly.
Yeah.
And I also think after, I think, a few years of seeing sort of dysfunctional marriage movies by men, I'm thinking particularly Noah Baumbach,
What are you thinking about?
with Olivia's attention to detail and how much you can appreciate that coming from say like a heavily stylized work that she did like Don't Worry Darling and then coming to this and seeing her growth as a filmmaker right because you are you have sort of all of these constraints that come from the fact that you have like this limited setting and she just makes a meal of that space and
I don't know, because, like, you know, like, I think things like, like, for a really long time, anything kind of outside of the, like, committed, exclusive, heteronormative, one man, one woman idea of marriage, like, feels very transgressive, because those sorts of elements, I think, are almost, they're coded as, like, queer in a way.
I think even in San Francisco.
And you have these two people...
who live in this very, you know, traditional looking house.
Yeah.
