“They cared enough to have a perspective.” That’s the whole thing. A movie with this budget could’ve been pure spectacle and nobody would’ve complained. The fact that it chose to say something — about AI, about billionaires, about what media is for — is the part that stays. Great gowns are easy. Meaning is harder.
I am also super curious about the brand arrangements! I wrote a piece about the wine in the Hamptons scene- I'm pretty sure it was Domaine Ott's Chateau Romassan from Bandol (which is a lovely, savory rosé, and also a splurge at $50+)...but I am still waiting for confirmation from someone else! Anyone else catch the same bottle? https://substack.com/home/post/p-196384254

Andy eating the bagel when leaving her apt and the soup at lunch with Nigel! I love the message that came from that.
I had so many thoughts.

To your comparison on Benji Barnes, Kara Swisher on her pod actually told the writer and director that they perfectly captured Jeff!
