I already wrote up this movie like six years ago(!). You can go ahead and read what I said there, but extra things:

  1. I mentioned there that the movie featured Jonathan from Buffy; I realized this time around that it also has Riley in it. Huh!
  2. Beautiful movie on Blu-ray, as you’d expect.
  3. So I continue to just absolutely love this movie to a completely unreasonable degree. It’s not just that it’s one of the clearest liberal manifestos I’ve seen in a movie, it’s… I dunno, it’s like that David Foster Wallace commencement speech, something which is kinda earnest and maybe a little bit cheesy, but which I think is saying something important about how to live your life. Which I suspect is not entirely unrelated to the political aspect of it, now that I think about it, because yeah, delighting in ambiguity and change and a lack of strictures is pretty much explicitly a liberal thing to do.
