another sort of blind watch. i have always loved steve coogan and i saw this on the criterion channel. i also have seen in my feed, multiple times, the clip of the two doing rival michael caine impressions. that’s honestly what i thought this would be. funny conversations between two well known british comics. what i got instead was humor but doused in intense melancholy. and somehow i found comfort in that. im in a stage where i don’t feel like im at where i should be. yes im only 19, but that doesn’t mean i cant feel this way. there’s really some security in seeing someone at a completely different stage of their life, and feeling similarly. this movie doesn’t wrap it in a bow and try and make some sort of moral or message. there isn’t really a satisfying ending. this movie just is. it feels real, and i think it can’t be that far from reality. thank you steve coogan and rob brydon for this sometimes hilarious, eternally lonely film. somehow it’ll all be okay, as long as i’ve got my people and some love.
