We got in 4 movies today beginning with The Foxcatcher. It was starring Chaning Tatum as an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling and a very against- type casting of Steve Carrell as an eccentric coach wanna-be. Mark Ruffalo also in it. Outstanding acting! This one will get a lot of attention. Based on true story. I do not want to spoil this one & I advise you not read about it in advance. Definitely recommend this.
Mommy was a poignant story of a son with major behavioral issues and his mother. Very well done but likely not for a wide audience. Directed by a 26 yr old Canadian who clearly has a bright future.
The imitation Game --- my favorite so far staring Benedict Cumberbatch as the man who led the work to decipher the Enigma code inWWII. Riveting and real. I expect to see awards for this one.
The homesman starring Hilary Swank was the last tonight. Directed by & also staring Tommy Lee Jones. A good movie but by far not a best one. A period story about a frontier woman. Swank was honored by the festival in a ceremony we saw, as well as a retrospective of her career.
A very satisfactory day! I got pix of Carrell & Tatum but can't post. Oh-- and during the last movie Jon Stewart sat at the end of my row-- about 10 seats away! This I love about Telluride---People are respectful & give people their space.
Gotta get some sleep now..
