If you have a Netflix subscription, you have to watch this incredible movie about a girl and her super pig, starring Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Warning: you might immediately start crying as soon as you watch the trailer above. Stronger, the second feature film about the Boston Marathon bombing looks to be as much of a tearjerker as Peter Berg’s Patriot’s Day – an unavoidable thing for a topic this devastating, not to mention one still (and maybe too?) recent.
What is a David Gordon Green film? The answer to this question has perplexed film scholars for years now: he began his career with the dreamy lyricism of tone poems George Washington and All the Real Girls, took a detour into stoner comedy with Your Highness and Pineapple Express, returned to difficult character studies for Prince Avalanche and Joe (or as I like to call it, Irrefutable Evidence That Nicolas Cage Is Still a Good Actor), then whipped up a studio-sized flop in haywire political satire Our Brand Is Crisis. Predicting his next move is all but impossible, so what luck that today brings the official news of what he’ll do next — and prepare yourself, because it just as incongruous with the rest of his scattered filmography as you’d expect.
