@timmydarnay@witchesflight Son of a Gun and Last Days in the Desert are solid, but I see your point. Based on his early career work and building momentum, I assumed that he would have been a perennial Oscar nominee at this stage.
@BorjomiDrinker There's an archetype (buttoned-up husband/lively wife [typically, white-collar worker and artist]) in which both partners enrich each other's lives and provide balance for a child (e.g., The Sound of Music, I Love Lucy, my friend's parents). This is a modern basterdization.
