A Patient Man (2019)

A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.

That feeling in your gut which tells you that there’s something out there you should look for and make your own, is what the power represents

Can a piece of bad representation truly be reclaimed? We Are Pat (2025) attempts to answer this question.

Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.

In the shadow of towering film production companies lived dozens of grindhouses, genres, and low-budget films deemed too “unclean” for the modern film audience.

The second season arrives over three years after its first. While late on arrival, most audience members will be happy.
