CONDITION: ★★★★
NOTES: Very scratchy and the sound was not perfect (though it could just be the Upstairs Screen’s sound system when running prints but that’s about it for this one. Doesn’t include ‘When Love is Gone’ like the digital screening I attended at Greenwich back in 2012.

Reasons: As with Ballerina, this was among those originally set to be released by The Weinstein Comapny, but pulled off the schedule following Harvey Weinstein's abuse allegations. TWC under its new identity Lantern Entertainment agreed to sell distribution rights to 101 Films, leading to a US release at long last.
Benefits: Harvey got what he deserved, and so did director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, but only in that his own cut of the film opened in the US instead of Weinstein's (although the butchered cut opened in the UK) and was critiqued as a moderate improvement over the other cut.
Flaws: It was still nowhere near as financially successful as it might have been under a keener distributor.

NOTE: Mum was almost going to wait until it hit Prime, but upon discovering it starred not one but three of her favourite performers, and after having Driver’s performance in Marriage Story tempt her too much, she decided to stay, thus happily sitting through the Adam Driver double bill with me, in the same screen and the same seats.
