Fine Print

As we speak, Aaron Schneider‘s Get Low (Sony Classics, 7.30) has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. Which it fully deserves, in my book. Except the review by Hollywood Reporter critic Kirk Honeycutt is a little sourpussy, so the film isn’t pulling a perfect score in the sense that Don Larsen pitched a perfect game. Metacritic has taken Honeycutt’s review into account and given Get Low an 81% score.

it’s early yet, of course. We haven’t yet heard from Armond White, I mean.

  1. I ignored like eight screenings for this film because it looks like charming old coot bullshit with folksy aged honkytonk soundtrack. Even the positive reviews make it sound like I was right.

  2. Duvall is better in it than the whole of the movie as being very good. I though the whole cast did a good job. People that have a hard time with slow movies will noit like it. But it’s a character study piece, so it would be foolish to make this film faster than it is. But I had to laugh when my friend told me that the film should be called Get Slow.

    I still think regardless of how anybody feels about it, that Duvall is a lock for a best actor Oscar nod.

  3. Ebert tweeted “Get Low is at 100% at Rotten Tomatoes?”. That makes me think that he didn’t like. We’ll find out at midnight when his review goes up.
