gargantuan. there is a single shot near the end of this film where felicity jones nearly steals the whole thing in one fell swoop. over three hours in and i could hardly believe the build up had led to such a simplisticly monsterous scene, and so much of it clicked miraculously into place for me right then. the first half is a deconstruction of the american dream, and the second half takes a sledgehammer to it. this is the kind of movie we should be going to the movies for
