"Time gets flattened out, because now we’re into the digital age. Usually, I’m quite a retro person, but my manager was one of the first people to buy an iPod, so I got one. But then I thought, When am I ever going to use that? It took me ages to take it out of the box—maybe four or five years—and then I just couldn’t see the point of carrying it around. The first song that I ever downloaded was Leonard Cohen’s “Death of a Ladies’ Man.” Leonard Cohen and Scott Walker are the two real touchstones in terms of people I’ve listened to consistently throughout my whole life. If you listen to that first Pulp record, it is just a direct rip off of his first album—though I’m not saying it was as good as that. I was very lucky to [meet Cohen] when his album Old Ideas came out. I hosted the playback of that in London, and then I interviewed him about it. I was nervous about doing that, but I’m really glad that I did. I didn’t get to know him so much, but at least I got to meet him, and I was able to tell him how much his work had meant to me."

Sincerely abominable, I still currently have a long-standing headache caused from my face wincing throughout this entire movie. Thank Lord this was only 90 minutes because I felt like I needed a long, boiling hot, chemical-spill-grade shower after watching it. Every minute is an endurance test, once you get past one it feels like an accomplishment right up until you get to the next one - rinse and repeat - oh and they get progressively more and more truly sickening as they go along. Evidently this is pretty much tit-for-tat to what actually happened in the real life story, which makes it even more unsettling, and as a result I do think that this is more sensitive than people give it credit for even if it isn't fully absolved of some issues. The last 15 minutes are horribly rushed through, though while it - commendably - doesn't really go for a trashy/pulpy approach, it's still unbearably tense and crafts a fast food nightmare colored with traumatizing performances and ice-cold direction. Now more than ever a ruthlessly effective treatise on why we shouldn't be expected to hand over our basic human rights to someone simply because they're an authority figure.
