i find it so fascinating the way that matt johnson has this insane ability to write/direct characters that are so deeply flawed and unlikable that even still just so happen to end up growing on you. his work has this really special flare to it. i loved the scene at the very beginning of the movie right before the title card comes in that has absolutely no music. it makes that scene so crushing. i feel like so many filmmakers are afraid of silence when it’s one of the most powerful tools in a filmmaker’s toolbelt. i have no idea if this is an accurate portrayal of anthony bourdain, but i think it’s absolutely wonderful. i’m a big fan of movies that take a famous person and examine one section of their life that influenced them heavily as a person ala a complete unknown or springsteen: deliver me from nowhere. i’m so biased with this movie because i love dominic sessa and antonio banderas. lowkey a match made in heaven.  anyway tldr; matt johnson is a god
