This movie, and especially Rob in this movie, completely changed the way I view actors and movies. This movie sucked me in and had me on the edge of my seat through the whole thing!
This movie hit hard for me in so many ways Having a daughter with delayed challenges is very difficult when you're older, so I understood why grandma needed to place Nick. My biggest fear. Connie reminded me too much of me. He thought fast on his feet and knew exactly how to manipulate a situation. I saw so much good in Connie but he couldn't do good appropriately, most likely hi circumstances in life. I wanted Connie to wind up with Nick both doing really well like in a Hallmark movie..but I think they ended it exactly as should be. This was a dark realistic movie that taught the audience alot of things. Each will go away with their own self realizations and lessons. Excellent job by all excellent actors. Rob was iconic..best role to date and Benny...wow..I thought he was deaf and challenged. That's great acting. Rob was so convincing..it took 30 min in to realize Connie was him. The cameras were fabulous with every angle exactly how it should be and the score throughout was perfect. Iggy Pop at the end...wow.
Just finished this movie, really glad this Q&A is here so I can debrief like this. Amazing film, was wiping away tears during the credits. The definition of a bittersweet ending.
Absolutely fantastic interview. Extremely insightful, particularly in regard to their grafting of Benny's previously invented character onto the script and the lengths that they went to mask exposition.
