Movies We Watch

I understand why this film won Oscars. Great story, great acting, well paced, visually interesting. I cared about these people. I didn’t want the ending I knew was coming to happen.

Penn was understated and really inspiring in this part. But then he is a really great actor.

And after vowing to never watch another Van Sant film after Last Days, I am glad we gave this one a watch.
