The Way We Speak

If you care about good writing and strong performances then watch this film. Sharp character study set against a moody aesthetic. Patrick Fabian gets to shine in a whole new way from his Better Call Saul role. This is a the kind of movie that's in short supply these days--- a grown-up drama for thinking people. Themes of grief, envy and ambition but somehow still hopeful. Felt cathartic to watch. The entire cast was great, Kailey Rhodes stood out to me with a particularly nuanced performance. Like all good art, this film made me think and I know I'll watch it again. Feels like one of those movies that you keep discovering things the more you watch it/think about it.
