"I love Hitchcock’s Rear Window. I’m actually developing a movie about Robert Capa, who was a war photographer that Hitchcock seemingly based the movie on. I used to take photographs; I was a photographer for many years, and I’m intrigued by this idea. I think it’s a wonderful idea about being a voyeur. He just watches his next door neighbors, and becomes convinced that one of them has been killed. It’s the idea of what you see versus what you really see. I loved making documentaries for that very reason; you just watch people, even after you’ve shot it. You go back to the edit suite and watch them, and you can understand when they’re telling the truth and when they’re lying. You get to know that stuff. It’s really fascinating — the idea that you can have a movie about something that might have happened… it’s a trick of the eye, or using the camera in a fascinating way. You’re using it to tell a story based on intrigue, and I don’t think I’ve seen that before, or since."

𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. Boo-fucking-hoo, sad sad sad. Total bullshit, another turn-of-the-millennium 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢 wannabe where a bunch of junk characters spout faux-philosophical anecdotes about No Actual Thing for what feels like literal ages. Starts off with some minor intrigue but no sooner I couldn't stand it - what with it's downright laughably corny music and sterile-as-can-be cinematography *on top of* this aggressively cringe dialogue delivered by such nonentities. Feels like one of those fake AI bots from Twitter being fed every somber hyperlink film and spatting out its jumbled tropes. I'm not going to say this doesn't have intriguing ideas, they just go nowhere and most of these stories just... don't even finish? Young Rob McElhenney in a bit part outacts the entire cast of unenthusiastic performances from A-listers (other than McConaughey who just feels right in and around any courtroom setting, but even then they give him next to no breathing room). Still in disbelief with how boring they decided to play this.
