The film has more layers than onions, it's layers on top of layers, each character is a unique universe full of ramifications and that scares. It's impossible to understand every detail of his actions and emotions, just like in the real world, I've never seen it in the cinema elevated to such an exorbitant degree, at least not that I can remember. We can only close a few holes with our imagination, but in doing so we remain unsure of anything. I found Kirsten Dunst's character a bit exaggerated in the film and I only identified Keith Carradine at the end of the film. Everyone is talking about Cumberbatch's performance, which is really undeniably good, but for me Kodi Smit-McPhee steals the show, the boy best known for playing the X-Men's Nightcrawler in the latest films in the franchise was simply spectacular. I don't even need to talk about the technical part here, it was a spectacle.

"This album is a big one for me. My friend Michael Diamond from the Beastie Boys introduced me to it. He visited me in Portland and I took him to this record store that was $1 per record and it was just bins and bins of records. He said, ""Oh my god, you should totally get this, it's a great record"", so I got it. In it, Isaac Hayes is leading an orchestra and he's also at the piano and he's talking in between songs telling funny stories. So it's almost a cabaret performance. I didn't know what that was when I got the record. Well, I kind of did, as my uncle was a drag queen. But it was the fact that he would tell stories that would lead into a song. I had done that in Bikini Kill but people were just like, ""Shut up and just sing your song!"" and I was like, ""No! What if I specifically made it a part of the show and had things I was going to talk about?"" His stories would turn from tragic to funny. It really validated what I was doing but he was doing it better. I thought, instead of trying not to do it so I don't get shit I should just do it better. Keep doing it and doing it even better and make it more part of the show instead of less. The other huge thing was, ""Why don't I get to work with an orchestra? Why don't I get to work with really talented people and be like, 'No, let's change it to the key of B' like, 'This key would be better for my voice' and have people who really know what they're doing?"" I'm in that band now – not an orchestra, but I'm working with musicians where I'm like, ""Hey, can we do this song for my sweet spot vocally?"" I'm not the leader in the way that Isaac Hayes was on that album. That record really made me question why I didn't think of myself as someone able to work with people who can talk about things being sharp or flat."
