It’s crazy how forgotten this movie is as a best picture winner. Especially because it went against Dune, Belfast, and Licorice Pizza all which I personally found better overall. Troy Kotsur was hilarious tho in his cameo for Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I’ve loved her since I first saw her on the west wing and she continues to be amazing
They thought she’d be okay with that? lol
That movie is so beautiful
Troy is a phenomenal actor, I just saw him in Black Rabbit and hope to see him in a lot more
Such a great movie
This was such a great documentary- if you haven’t seen it, you can probably watch it on the PBS app for free.
Absolutely good for her! I’m glad the studio actually agreed in the end too
