The Rumours Are True

Well now we're getting somewhere! This here Monday brings you my first review out of this year's New York Film Festival -- I am a slow one, I will be the first to admit it. But I really prefer to let movies marinate in my brain before plopping out a pile of thoughts and thankfully my editors at Pajiba are okay with that. Anyway I'll be dropping several reviews this week so our long national nightmare of waiting for my personal opinion has finally ended, huzzah. First up are my thoughts on Rumours...

... the new, weird, and completely hilarious Guy Maddin flick (co-directed by the brothers Evan and Galen Johnson, who've co-directed Maddin's last several films) -- this one has Maddin's biggest name cast to date (including Cate Blanchett and Alicia Vikander) and I don't think I have laughed harder in a theater this year? Read my review right here. This one is out super soon -- it hits theaters on October 18th! So below is the trailer. I don't recommend skipping this one -- it's very funny and very smart about the overwhelming hopelessness of right now. Yes -- somehow that's funny! Bless Guy Maddin.
