feels good to watch oscar again. i mean an actual new content not film rewatches. oscar nation is in dire need of content.
“if you’re such a hero why do you work in correction facility that kills people?”
“everybody needs love”
“that motherfucker”
no one wants to be alone.
i absolutely can not wait for more movies from elvira lind
they did it. they found a way to make oscar isaac unattractive. not because of the mustache, no, it’s Great, but by making him play a cop who works in a prison. unreal.
but overall, while definitely portraying cops and prisons in a too nice and sympathetic way, the movie did make a stand against the death penalty so there’s that at least. and it was still very good and well acted too so as always i believe in elvira lind and oscar isaac supremacy
The character moments feel shoehorned, as is often the case with middling short fiction, but no denying Oscar Isaac’s mustache is a wonder to behold.
49/100

Mennyire szép... Ebben a filmben nemcsak a középkorú, diétázó, de azért éjjelente nassoló, magányos, de azért ambiciózus Oscar Isaac nagyon szép, hanem azok az apró emberi dolgok is, amiket nem értékelünk eléggé.
i really really enjoyed this. it's simplicity and hopefulness brought me much joy. i felt this sense of happiness in the end. fulfillment. also im never disappointed by oscar isaac :) elvira lind is !!!!!
Not the best short film, directing/writing/concept-wise, but Oscar Isaac is A+++++++.
The scene with Rosita and the cop is so nuanced and realistic and good, wow. And also the ending? I love it sm
A simple but deep and interesting character study. Oscar Isaac is a joy to watch, as always, and brings a wonderfully nuanced performance. The score is amazing too, being just a simple and bodacious bongo/drum. It’s a fine watch if you can find it. Good stuff.
Even if this short film is structured as a pretty light drama, it illustrates the truly inhumane and exploitative nature of prison. Just the way that the carceral system is set up, any attempt at "changing things from the inside" is misguided and impossible (the way the warden truly doesn't care about, like, anyone).
A great little performance from Oscar Isaac in this one, and it's always nice seeing Alia Shawkat doing stuff.
