I suppose that is a way to look at it but I recall my parents in a fifth wheel traveling across the US. I just don't think it's movie-worthy let alone best-picture-worthy.
The reviewers rave about the cinematography but I did;t think it was particularly memorable either.
So far I'd probably pick Judas and the Black Messiah or Promising Young Woman.
The latter is a revenge story of sorts and Carey Mulligan was so good in The Dig that as a combined performance I'd like to see her win - she won't.
Judas and the Black Messiah has weird editing issues although it was solid.
Mank is okay - mediocre
Trial of the Chicago 7 seems more like a TV movie and bettered by almost any episode of the West Wing.
They all just seem, as maher points out" It used to be "Look what good movies we make," but now it's "look what good people we are"

- I think you missed the point of film, in general, if you agree with Maher's rant. nt - tinear 08:24:54 04/18/21 (0)
