Kind of douchey, but excellently evokes the ebbs and flows between inevitable desperation and unbridled relief of its protagonist.
Did not expect to love this movie. But I did. Enough said.
Under rated. I thought it was worth my time at least.
The music of M83 can make a movie better than it really it is.
I thought it would be about the fun kinda gambling not the sad kind
Not a terrible film, but if I expected much more of this movie.
Slow movie that is a character study on the person that dug a hole so deep their only choice is to keep digging to find a way out or die
Bit of a time waster. Very slow and nothing much happens.
The "epic" ending with some M83 behind for an half-baked love story doesn't work. Excellent John Goodman and some decent scenes.
At first half we expect something amazing we wait and wait but nothing is gonna happen. If it's not mark we can't even see one time atleast.
