• A very different film from both the genius earlier collaborations between coogan and Winterbottom- 24 hour party people and Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story– this is closer to the my dinner with andre two people (men) talking genre
  • Amazing impersonations from Brydon and Coogan—Caine, Connery, Richard Burton, Woody Allen
  • Genuine pathos slowly achieved- it’s really a nice unambitious archiveable film
  • Chapter day breaks
  • Hilarious traits from Coogan- he’s obsessed with having a nicer room than Brydon
  • Not sure about the surrealism
  • Great formal symmetry here with landscapes, food, and wine—but not only that- comparisons between the two men, exterior laughs and interior pain
  • Not in the top 10 of 2010
  • Recommend
