Digger is an amazing film. Don’t worry about reviews, just go watch it. Very high level film making. My friend Cosmo Sheldrake’s score is also top notch.
I will say that I think I understand why many people don’t like it, but I can’t talk about that in detail without spoiling it.
Their grievances are totally legitimate and understandable, but I think the film is still very much worth watching if you love the craft of film making.
The set design alone makes it worthwhile. It is at minimum a visual feast. Undeniably ambitious. Perhaps not for everyone, but what would you rather watch another f-ing super hero movie?
@Midnight_Dasher You’re telling me the guy who spent 15 minutes talking about how Deadwood is the greatest TV show of all time last week had a bad take??
“I’d venture that ‘Digger’ is actually a better, more fluid film than ‘Birdman’—less contrived and constrained in its staging, more mysterious in its intentions and effects,” Justin Chang writes. Read his review of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s latest film. https://t.co/MsoyjNO90e
sadistic glee in so many articles about "Digger" taking this tone as if, written by persons who've never made a movie, will never make a movie, or probably even know anyone who has made a movie, or in fact created anything original & risky, are taking their revenge on those who make themselves vulnerable by doing so.
