Film: Richard Jewell
Maybe I'm smoking crack, but I thought the film was really good.
And I read this Washington Post article criticizing the film over the portrayal of Olivia Wilde's character. So much is wrong with the article:
1) The most egregious: the writer clearly didn't actually watch the film because he doesn't note the Olivia Wilde character arc, and criticizes the film for missing a "moment" that ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE IN THE FILM!
2) More broadly, the article worries about how the newspaper is depicted in the film. Does he realize the film is about RICHARD JEWELL! The film isn't called Kathy Scrugs or the Atlanta Journal. This level of stupidity belongs in a college newspaper.
3) He criticizes a dramatic scene for not actually taking place. What? Huh? A scene in a movie was made up for dramatic effect? Does he not know what a movie IS?
What a preposterous op-ed.

Me and an old black woman yelling at Richard Jewell for being a dummy when he is "being tricked"/volutarily reciting his confession to the FBI over and over again after being told repeatedly not to talk.
Beautiful Day...unique directorial choices within scenes, full emotional experience.
Great American double!!
