Has anyone read the book? I love Joan Didion and have read all of her non fiction but Play it as it Lays is the only fiction of hers that I've read so far.

As much as I love Willem Defoe idk if it outweighs my complete lack of desire to watch anything with Anne or Ben lol.

i've read all but one of her books at this point (fiction and non) and unfortunately this was my least favorite of her novels. having said that, this looks promising imo.

My love for Willem outweighs my disdain for Ben. I'll watch.

Why is Ben there tho? :-/ ain’t he tired

[fbag17]

He looks like shit, too

[ohwutevernvm]

Not to be snarky but he really does and got no chill. Just too washed up at this point. Very concerning tbh :-/

I am unfamiliar with the novel, but i am really excited for this film.

I really liked everything Dee Rees has directed and feel like she deserves to be more of a "brand name" director than she is.

dee? anne? willem? IM IN.

(and yes carey mulligan was right about if mudbound was directed by a white man it would have gotten more awards love. justice for mudbound!)

mudbound was incredible and one of the most moving films i've seen in YEARS

the academy has no taste
