Read the synopsis and it sounded like precisely the intellectual distraction I needed this evening, so I cued it up.
Frame 1, before we're even off the black... and you hear Philip F***ing Glass.
Opening shot - a young Sam Waterson from 1990. Thrilled to see he'd be playing a politician among the three central characters.
This calls for popcorn. See you in 2 hours.

It's funny you bring this movie up. The first time my parents' took me to see a movie at an arthouse cinema, there was a poster for
Mindwalk in the lobby. It caught my eye for whatever reason, and though I still have never seen it, I've always wondered about it. I'm curious to hear what you think of it.
