Sofia Boutella, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lizzy McAlpine, Quentin Tarantino, Simon Pegg, and Liam Hellmann took a mostly improvised script and over six days chewed scenery and made a film that was liess about the plot then the real people on the screen.
I loved this film.
Seriously, I really loved this film. I have no real clue what the plot was, but god damn this cast kicked ass to the far side of the unioverse and back. I mean everyone in the cast decided that they were going to bring their A game and rock the house. This isn't so much a film but a bunch of funny and human people interacting for 90 minutes. This film plays like life as we kind of wish it waslived.
I am in awe of the film, so much so that I broke my hard and fast rule regarding Tribeca and I am posting it shortly after the embargo drops and not where the 75th film I saw for the festival should go, a week later.
How good is the cast? I loved Quentin Tarantino. I mean, when did he becomes an actor that is on the level of Sofia Boutella and Charlotte Gainsbourg? This isn't a tossed off role but something much more.
To be honest I went into the film not expecting anything. Every year Tribeca gets a couple of films with great casts that aren't very good. They are usually perefectly watchable but you will forget them right after you see it. You are left wondering what drew the cast to the project. And if you asked for interviews you hope you have enough questions to fake an interview.
That isn't the case here. Here we know why the cast was here and we know that they were bringing their joy and A games. I mean you can see the cast having fun, being in the moment and not phoning it in. Yes, I know I said the plot which has two exes coming to back together isn't anything special, but the characters are. I may not remember the plot but I remember the emotion and people on screen.
If I get an interview I will have a great deal to discuss.
Every year Tribeca throws up one film that is out of left field tha totally blows my mind. ONLY WHAT WE CARRY is it.
Go buy tickets and go.
