Linklater can do no wrong
5 January 2017
Just saw this movie for the 2nd time and I loved it even more than the first time. Just like every Linklater picture, it is so rewatchable. I enjoyed so much being in this world with these characters. Every single one of them is fully drawn out. Linklater is a magician, someone that has mastered his craft to the fullest extent.

The cast is great. Glen Powell was the stand out for me, he was excellent. Not far behind him was Wyatt Russell who is establishing himself as an exciting up and coming talent.

This was my favorite sports movie since Warrior. I loved everything about it.

Astonishing Achievement
28 December 2016
This film is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Beautiful, heartbreaking, funny, and tough all at the same time. This film puts the viewer through the ringer but earns every single moment by the end.

Casey Affleck gives one of the best performances I've seen in years. Career defining work. Michelle Williams doesn't have a lot of screen time in the film but is amazing. There is once scene in particular that these two share towards the end of the film, that is jaw-dropping. That scene alone merits both of these two actors Oscar nominations.

It's been a few days since I've seen the film and it is still in the back of my mind. Best film I've seen in 2016. Exceptional.
