While the original was associated with it. I don't feel like it was necessary to be as gory just to tell the same story.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wouldn't want anybody to throw away their own thoughts and opinions because I have my own snobby view of film. That's never the point. I do have one thing to say in my defense. You said that they wrapped everything up and that there were no holes. So what happened to the police chief?

I'm a big fan of the antihero and Greta Gerwig is my dream woman. There's not much of a point to the film, but the characters are all relatable (in the worst ways possible) and the dialogue so greatly written and performed that it's enough to keep you interested. I don't buy a lot of movies but this is one I want in my collection. I liked this a lot more than Noah Baumbach's previous film, Greenberg, but they are similar in their tones.
Criterion actually released it which I thought was very interesting. I love Greta Gerwig. She's so silly.
