Films in Review

Saw #Brats, in which the child echoes in L&H’s characters are made explicit, what w’ them also playing their own children & all.

#Brats. Aggressively, gleefully implausible. They don’t believe it for a second, and yet invest in it completely. Result: triumph.

#Brats. “Oh!” says the child-Ollie, w’ his mouth all rounded. One of the most beautiful faces in all of film.

#Brats. I want to call your attention to that roller skate on the floor there.

#Brats. There’s a liquidic apocalypse here that is about as emphatic as the blood that came out of Mr. Kubrick’s elevator.
