Diane says: “A film about the pervasive anxiety in our world, through the story of one man’s mental illness. On the literal level, this movie is good at showing the stigma of mental illness and the chaos of delusional disorders. On the larger scale: the economic and environmental sources of anxiety that plague us all (okay, the 99 percent), and what can save us. Acting nom for lead Michael Shannon. Relationship between lead and his friend/coworker extraordinarily well-written and played. Great for discussion. 4 cats
“Unfortunately, story lost all credibility for me when it showed a public library being open on Sunday morning.
“Must see Jeff Nichols’ first film now…”
