STORYCONTEXT: Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau; Dir. Alexander Payne, 2017

A beautiful film. The poetry and seriousness of it comes on slowly, but even at the start, when you might be expecting a comedy, there’s a meditative quality. Matt Damon is completely authentic, as always. The lead actress, Hong Chau, creates a character like none I’ve ever seen. She’s not only the spirit and soul of this movie, she makes the same kind of commanding impression the movie does, one that (for me anyway) says: Pay attention to this! You pay attention now! *\~ Sept. 1, 2020*
