Superb Acting, Superb Direction

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2014)

Been drooling to see this since I first heard it was in the making, and finally saw it tonight.
The acting and direction are as good as it gets.
It's quiet, weird, and true; and tells about something rarely shown in movies - how weirdly cut-off and brutal is the life of the invisible super rich. Wish there'd be more of that story shown in movies.
I'm only giving a 7 because it's not a "big" movie, it doesn't get you in the gut in some profound way, like great movies can. That's not a failure, I don't think making one of those "big" movies was the goal with this.
I think what they tried to do was tell an actual story, a strange story, involving a strange, twisted, spoiled rich guy who had nothing but money. No skills, no humanity, no wisdom, just a shell of a person, with an insane amount of money and power because of the money alone. And the love of brothers, and a glimpse into the culture of wrestling.
I love this director, love all three actors. Four, counting Lyn Redgrave. Gorgeous gorgeous acting, writing, direction, and filming. Gorgeous.
