Yesterday, I watched a remarkably beautiful, tender, subtle Film by Kelly Reichardt............. The film touched me, emotionally, at a very deep level......If you haven't seen it.......please do so.....
However.... approach its viewing without reading any 'plot reveals or any analysis/critiques of it................ I felt transformed by its nuanced beauty......its structure, its elegant cinematography and acting....well....everything about it.......although it took a few minutes 'into the film' to appreciate its musical soundtrack......and there were some glitches, not 'taken care of' in the sound editing, that took me away for a few seconds...three times.....John Magaro (also in the Todd Haynes Film, CAROL) should have, in my opinion, received an Academy Award Nomination for his nuanced, sensitive portrayal of 'Cookie'......I'd like to hear/read your 'take' on the movie..... Kelly Reichardt is, now, on my Radar...

OMAHA, NE.. {10-28-19)—Demonstrating intellectual ability far surpassing any other member of its species, H4B3447, the greatest genius in cow history, has been killed, butchered, packaged, and eaten, agricultural sources confirmed Monday. According to those familiar with the animal, H4B3447 demonstrated problem-solving and critical thinking skills significantly outpacing the bovine norm, including evidence of superior math aptitude and even rudimentary use of tools, before being stunned with a heavy-duty electrical shock and cranially dispatched with a captive bolt gun in an Omaha-area meatpacking plant. Reports confirmed that the cow also exhibited high emotional intelligence, displaying a clear and measurable sense of existential concern for both its own welfare and that of its fellow cows, dreading and mourning the fact that it would cease to be a sentient entity long before it was butchered into steaks, burger patties, mid-grade hides, and budget dog food. The USDA, which oversees meat processing, did not return calls inquiring as to whether or not the genius cow was more delicious than its mundane counterparts.
