"The Zone of Interest" =brilliantly realized & unlike anything you are likely to see. much of the film is silent as a home movie seemingly unedited & unstructured, moving as if randomly through rooms of a large unattractive house & adjoining flower garden. we are most

@Tom_Benn Finally saw Barbie. Great fun at the beginning, but as I expected, it ran out of gas well before the end. Did not expect it to get so preachy. What happened to all of that po-mo snark?
@NCWChris @HughesPeg@WritersCentre So glad to hear about Peg. So sad to hear that you’re leaving, Chris. You’ve done an amazing job to build the NWC. Wish you all the best in the new gig.
@Tom_Benn They did a good job of creating suspense around the test. We know that the bombs worked, but we might not remember the first tests. I also liked Benny Safdie’s Teller, though he should limped to provide the whole Dr Strangelove effect.
@Tom_Benn It was more complex than I expected. You say ‘symphonic’, while I say ‘operatic’ - with an emphasis on spectacle in a story told in broad strokes. Interesting that they devoted so much time to making Strauss the villain of the story.
