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.

Few people can wear a unibrow like Frida Kahlo or Salma Hayek. Great film, but I didn’t know whether to feel bad for her for being so talented and being treated like a doormat or to be angry at her for being so talented and putting up with being treated like a doormat. I believe she would have been just as great a painter without the pain (or would that make her just a ter…lol).
