Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

The performances are better than the movie...

...but the performances are outstanding IMO even if the movie surrounding them is less than the sum of its parts.

Maggie is almost as good as Jeff. This is no "Scent of a Woman" OTT performance. Bridges is too good a craftsman for that; in fact, the performance is so dialed down and intimate, I'm surprised the Academy noticed. So if Bridges finally (FINALLY) wins a statue for this film role I'm A-OK with it on account of the performance is deserving, and the body of work is immensely deserving.

It's the same old, same old, Academy story so I don't get too worked up about it.
