Finally saw this shit. I am pretty sure i had nearly every individual scene of this movie spoiled already from online. But it was really nice to see it in the right order and in motion.

Incredible acting on all sides, and it rules how many non-actors are in it. Even the sandman is someone that you might count out here, since even though he has turned in good performances before, it’s mostly just been as a more sincere version of himself. But in this he really delivers, fully transformed. The script is a work of genius and the naturalistic dialogue all lands perfectly. The sound design is incredible even without the OPN soundtrack that’s completely fucking banging. Goes to show how much of a joke the academy awards are for ignoring this. I’m sure they’ll give the safdies their due well after everyone else has already moved on. For a movie like this you gotta bow down eventually.
