Liz, thanks so much for your comment! So glad you love Causeway. It really is so rare to get a movie like that made nowadays; it seems those quiet movies tend to become TV shows or series that end up a little longer than they needed to be.
Thanks for sharing Weeve! I love this idea of shorter weekly posts, including thoughts on other media forms you're passionate about (I can relate!). I just saw Causeway, it was magnificent. I want to watch it again, it's stayed with me. The quiet, humid, slowness holding the characters, the simplicity of a few locations in Louisiana (also a character in the film which gave it so much depth), what was not said in the dialogue, in the body language, absolutely brilliant. I read that the director originally shot flashback scenes of Jennifer Lawrence's character in Afghanistan, but once in the edit room, the story was best told in present day between JL and Brian Tyree Henry. Both fantastic. Also - RESERVATION DOGS is one of my all time favorite shows, Season's 2 "Offerings" is one of the best pieces of TV I've ever seen. It changed me (Willie Jack is my favorite character). Thanks for prompts!
