Iv'e always liked Christopher Abbot but after seeing his performance in this im convinced that he's one of the best actors ever. This movies aims to be a character study and he pulled of his character perfectly.
I also didn't know or expect Kid Cudi to be in this but his performance was great aswell which was very refreshing after watching the weekend in hurry up tomorrow.
