EEAAO is not just a "quirky" movie. For so many of us, it resonated because we felt seen. Ours lives were depicted in one (or multiple) of the universes of EEAAO, our dreams were depicted in EEAAO, our hopes, our aspirations, our relationships, our struggles, our fears. It's one of thos rare pieces of art that is entertaining and deeply moving at the same time. So no, I disagree that the love many of us are showing for EEAAO is just because it's the "quirky in thing"

It's really good up until the very end when there was some deviation in the plan because they didn't have the rights to use the Clarice Starling character. Great show though! Kind of like a murder mystery/cooking show. Hugh Dancy was really good & Laurence Fishburne had a good role too....& Eddie Izzard.

She’s a much bigger name now, of course she will get more roles and I’m sure they will give her more opportunity to shine. I personally think all of the performances in EEAAO are pretty shallow. What people like about the movie is the screenplay, the characters could have been portrayed by just about anyone and the movie would still be the same. There’s no gravitas that any of the performers add to their roles. Tár, on the other hand, feels deliberately constructed to give Cate Blanchett a career-defining role.

Twenty Bucks. I'm sure someone's going to point out that the 20 dollar bill is the "main" character I would argue that it's not a character merely the connecting thread that ties all of the vignettes together.
