The target audience should be older

Chronology

A woman puts her career on hold by being a housewife, but soon her home life takes a surreal turn. It was originally intended to be released streaming on Hulu, but a strong reception from test screenings prompted Searchlight Pictures to give it a wide theatrical release instead.. Referenced on Saturday Night Live: Jean Smart/Jelly Roll (2024). Riding Carousel’ Performed by Alexander McCabe Written by Alexander McCabe. Overall the movie is good, but I expected it to be darker and more gruesome than a comedy.

Adams is undeniably amazing

Even though I’m not a parent at this point, I can totally resonate with the themes presented. If you have questions about motherhood and female rage, this movie could be insightful. The script is also well written; Some of the dialogues of the characters are very sharp. Marielle Heller is definitely a talented female director who knows how to adapt a seemingly impossible book into a successful film. This is the best performance I’ve seen from him so far, and it might be the best performance I’ve seen this year.

It’s a career-defining performance

He is wild, brave and funny. He really commits to the role. The depth of her performance is evident in the intricate details of her facial expressions, which convey her anger, joy and pain beautifully. Adams embodies the role of mother with an authenticity that resonates deeply, likely stemming from her own experiences as a mother in real life. This personal connection elevates his performance and makes it feel both impersonal and authentic.

No, absolutely not

I can’t help but feel a strong connection between her portrayal and my own mother, as if she captures the essence of motherly love and sacrifice in a way that really speaks to me. This movie looks divisive so far. I’ve seen some people dismiss her performance, and many believe Adams shouldn’t win or even be nominated for this odd role. For me, acting awards are always performance based, not film based. He is the vehicle of the film.

The passion should not be lost

He should definitely be nominated or even win. I hope more people recognize and see my point. Besides Scoot McNairy is also amazing. Despite some flaws, the movie is worth watching.
