Serious question.
How do you judge an actor?
What makes a great performance?
Some actors do a lot acting but I’m not sure it’s necessarily good.
There are some famous actors who are just dead behind the eyes.

You can’t be okay with this and agree with that whole shining city on the hill bullshit.
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Train Dreams is such a beautiful film. And joins the list of the best Terrence Malick films Terrence Malick didn’t direct. Joel Edgerton gives the performance of his career. Restrained and subtle. Will Paxton provides the narration and there’s a sense of deep time few films achieve.
