This is the kind of movie so full of subtext and winks that I’m definitely not smart enough to have gotten everything out of it with my first watch. That being said I will not be surprised if I bump this up after further viewings. The cameos are all amazing, my personal favorite being the Goldblum one. The influence Altman has had on American filmmaking is so clear in this movie.
