Strange Weather

Global warming aside, I very much enjoyed this Film. Wonderful performance by Holly Hunter as Darcy. Tight script, loved the dialogue between the female characters, especially Glenne Headly with that distinctive voice and delivery. RIP Nice way to spend an afternoon with a Cup of Tea and maybe a Puff or 2 to cushion the sad parts.

Holly Hunter and Carrie Coon together in one movie? I signed on to this immediately upon stumbling on it randomly on Netflix.

Hunter is a boss in this role, as usual. The movie might be a little slow but the acting pushes it forward nicely and I really enjoyed it.

Holly Hunter's performance is truly Oscar material. A truly underated film, with a masterful script.

This movie didn't go a single step to cater to the action and twist driven drama that is the usual fare for the simple minded audience. Instead it tells a heartfelt story that feels profoundly real. The primary characters have deep friendships that can survive telling each other hard truths that need telling. When I realized where it was NOT going it gripped me even more firmly. I loved this film, cried twice, and adore Holly Hunter as much now as I did my first time seeing her in Raising Arizona. She is 6 weeks older than me and still makes my heart beat fast, dangerous at my age. This is a real drama that will survive over time and someday be a classic.

I cannot understand why this movie was underestimated. Holly is so big and intense, some level of an Isabelle Huppert. There are scenes that are so strong and unexpected I felt holding my breath. The dialogues are always clean and precise. The whole atmosphere of contemporary USA's south complete the movie. Must see.
