This looks great! And of course it has two recent/future BC's co-stars in the main roles. |

Someone watched it? I really liked it! I would say I loved it and I was absolutely in awe until the ballet scene at the end . I don't know why but at that point I thought that maybe negative reviews were right and that everything was just a frivolous meaningless exercise. Before that the despair, pain and existential angst felt sincere and deep. Maybe it was just that the actors were so wonderful that made it all feel so real but then they "changed" them for some nice looking dancers and it was just silly! But I liked the ending, it felt like a closure of a life in which the main character (he not her, she probably is just an avatar for all the women in his life. After all, she constantly change names and professions) reconciles himself with his doubts and fears. |

I started watching but since the first episode -I didn't finish it- I had the hunch that it was all in the janitor's head and that he was Jake and Jessie Bucley's character wasn't really there. I couldn't resist and search for spoilers and I saw I was kind of right. So I lost interest for the moment but I'm going to continue watching the rest later. |

I don't think that matter too much. I also kind of guessed it since the first shot of him looking her from a window in the very first scene (although it's never really explained or revealed so it easily could be interpreted in other multiple ways). It's not about the logic of the plot but about the feeling of angst, doubt and uncertainty.
Another interesting thing is that a lot of their opinions, comments and even artistic endeavors aren't really by them but taken from celebrated thinkers. Some of it is explained but not everything. Although at certain moment it's mentioned that people do that: repeat other's opinions as their own! In certain way, it seems like a compendium of the readings of someone and I think the books in Jesse Plemons' childhood room is a clue! Kaufman is very good for these kind of details.
