This is obviously a stunning bit of research and cultural history but I hardly enjoyed it because every primary character is so annoying.

Not necessarily the worst thing I’ve heard a politician say, but I can’t stop thinking about the sheer psychopathy of Eric Adams saying his favorite concert was the one where Curtis Mayfield was paralyzed. & ALSO that the music was good even though Mayfield didn’t play a note.

Friends, I hope you all experience the thrill of spending $6 for an unopened 37-yr old ECM masterpiece and getting to hear its first-ever play.

Yeah for me it’s a movie whose parts don’t add up to something more, but what parts! You can tell everyone is thinking, “I’m in a Scorsese movie, time to swing for the fences.”

Goodman was apparently drinking so much he barely remembers the shoot. And Ving Rhames! Lots of weird intense energy from everyone.
