Trout and Marlin

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2019)

This is one of my favourite movies. The direction and cinematography are so engrossing. The dialogue is snappy and funny and satisfying. The acting is just right in my opinion; not too melodramatic, not too subdued. I'm a big Jesse Eisenberg fan, and he does a great job as the rude, neurotic, genius main character. Garfield and Timberlake are good too. The cuts between past and present ensure the film remains very well-paced. The atmosphere is comfy, and the music is phenomenal. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross crafted such an unbelievable soundtrack that adds so much to every scene. This movie wouldn't seem as intense or focused without the perfect, memorable music. I love this film, and look forward to rewatching it many more times in the future.
