Skeeter Freeman is struggling in a sea of boiled peanuts and debt. Only two things keep him from becoming an AWM - his upcoming nuptials, and his two best friends. Walt - a boiled peanut connoisseur- and Floyd -a whorticultural engineer- When a horrifically funny event ruins his wedding - Skeeter goes on a journey to meet his idol, Bulldog Hays, but when Bulldog turns out to be nothing like he imagined, Skeeter must rely on himself, a limited supply of moonshine, broken shotguns, loose women, cheap drugs and his two redneck friends to fulfill his dream!
It’s the most loving tribute to cinema and to Ingmar Bergman, set in world that feels so habitable that I felt like only re-watching this for eternity, because of how inviting it looks and feels.
A Christmas tale that everyone is wishing for, and that everyone will remember.
The more we learned with each passing minute the bigger the reveal. This film ends with a serious bang and it was truly a joy to watch.
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.
The development of existing characters and the addition of some new ones have surely placed 'Ted Lasso' on some sort of an Incluvie A-OK list.
