Inherent Virtue

[Joseph Tracy]

Not passe for all of us.  I live in rural VT and had to arrange to go to Albany. I saw it Thursday with daughter and son-in-law.  Really fun with everything essential to IV still intact. Amazing control of pace and storyline. Likely destined for same cult status as The Big Lebowski according to Nick and Bekah.  I take it all back about Joaquin Phoenix. Stellar performance. Thought Joanna Newsoms smart squeaky  musical voice was perfect for a film that needed and benefitted from narration with no injury IMO to the power of telling through action, lighting, scene etc. 
Josh Brolin was fucking perfect.  I think they could have worked in a little more of Denis dialog.  The detail, the sets, the use of light and color - OMG, agree with Mike.  Lived for a while in Newport beach in 71 and wow.
