Movie Night: Causway

From Paul on Letterboxd

"Slow and precise. Contemplative instead of demanding. When you read the synopsis or blurb associated with this movie it’s easy to assume you know what kinda movie this is. You don’t. It’s not really like most other oscar bait movies about veterans or related to the military. It’s a quaint little character study. 

It gives you these peculiar interactions and then later colors them with context through dialogue. I was really surprised by how well written this was and the acting was phenomenal as well. It’s a rewarding one too and a movie I’m glad Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry got to do. These cool little indie movies are usually hard to come by."
