Basing the explanatory monologue on little Alvy Singer's anxiety may not have been wise (Joey Five Cents is never around when you need him), but this is still mostly a watchable (pie eating scene notwithstanding) attempt to take Hollywood's inexplicable fetish for grief (starting around 2013) and at least do a little something with it, even if it can't really be called a success. Maybe I'm just feeling generous.

An original film with a good score. A lot of artsy, long, no-cut shots (some painfully long) can make it seem pretentious at times. Definitely a slow burn, but entertaining enough for a single watch.

Couldn't help but wonder how often Casey Affleck was checking his phone under that sheet, and how much of that was his brother taunting him with pictures of himself in a metal batman suit. I liked the afterlife-as-cinema vibe, a silent observer subject to the dilation of montage and long take, trying to pull some meaning out. Will Oldham's long monologue drops the quality but the last third of the movie recovers the fumble.

I'm probably overrating it but this is the type of film I want to see more of in contemporary filmmaking. Slow-paced but it's only 90 minutes, and if you can appreciate cinematography, then it's well worth it. Great sound too but its greatest strength is the depiction of time. The only part I find heavy-handed is the scene with Will Oldham, but that's still an enjoyable scene--beautifully restrained otherwise.
