I just can't imagine how they're going to manage that tricky tone with the quippy one liners and deep emotional beats and the HSQ.
I'll certainly check it out, but they need a lot of really good comic actors who can play richer material too, not just cute faces.
I will certainly watch. I have no idea what to expect and will try to keep it that way as I feel like that will be the only way to manage my expectations (that is, to strive not to have any at all).
I was thinking I haven't seen any Chloe Zhao movies, but I have seen Eternals. I don't think that tells me anything, though. I just looked up the Zuckerman sisters and they are associated with Poker Face and Fringe and some other things that sound positive, so that's promising
I want to love it and likely will.
Chloé Zhao’s movie, Hamnet, currently in the film festival circuit, is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Although it is Most Emphatically Not a Light Comedy.
Also, I am reminded that I wouldn't have thought the American Pie guys would have been a good choice to bring us Murderbot and they are knocking it out of the park, so who even knows?
