Yeah, I saw it yesterday too and absolutely loved it.
SUCH a great performance… made me feel a bit like one of my favorite films, Shawshank Redemption, tho that one has less ambiguity. But in both cases the performances are rather understated and the struggle of the characters is often subtle and in their expressions. I might need to own it…
It was interesting seeing STB Thursday and HoHW yesterday. Pine is such a versatile actor, and it’s really starting to show. I loved them each in different ways, but it was very clear that Toby is NOT Captain Kirk in a cowboy hat, you know? Despite having just seen STB, I never once saw Kirk, and that is not always something I can say when I know an actor from one role and then see him in something else. I also had that feeling in Finest Hours, but for some reason it really struck me with this one. He’s very good, and people are starting to notice.
