Ever 'lose' a title you've added to your Netflix list? Well...this one did...even if I was really happy after watching the first few opening minutes (which gave me the impression that it was going to be a cheeky comedy)..it probably took me more than a year to find it again.
I think the biggest barrier of this film finding its ideal audience (like me!) is the title and the poster (or at least the featured cover art on IMDB and likely on DVDs and various other mediums). The poster communicates 'afterthought'...and thankfully the film is nothing but an example of fine filmmaking.
I was chuckling when Clyde was uttering the 'cryptic' line at the bar. Though now it's actually a weighty scene rather than a light scene (guessing Walker's password) because I realised Byrd's consideration and response foreshadowed her revelation in a later scene.
I think the last film I paid attention to Holly Hunter on screen was 'The Big Sick' (To me...the best bits are either her or Ray Romano's scenes). And of course she's brilliant in both instalments of 'The Incredibles'. After seeing this...I will be keeping an eye on her other titles (and going the extra mile and requesting them to be added to Netflix ---- as currently...there are only two titles with her name).
If you loved Holly's 'Mama Bear' in 'The Big Sick' --- I think...there's a chance that 'Strange Weather' might be a fit for you too.
