I noticed that Lowry guy is really good at making interesting fifteen minute sequences to end a movie. He had one in "Ghost Story," which is a movie I enjoyed much more than this one.
This Average Joe movie watcher couldn't stand most of Green Knight. Dev Patel is likable, but I didn't think he had nearly the weird energy to do something like this. I hated the odd-anti plot, and completely understand what you said about incoherent motivations. I didn't even think it was the visually pleasing. It had a unique general look, but there was never a moment that made me feel any amazement. I saw it on a Tuesday night with six other people in the audience, and I think they disliked it as least as much as I did...I heard a kindly old woman muttering to her son about metaphors. I think you're also completely right that people aren't going to connect with this.
I was reading passages aloud out of the NY Press book with a friend and we were chuckling, and he kind of blurted out, "where did you even hear about this?"
I smiled and paused for dramatic effect..."lemme tell you about the greatness of Sonny Bunch..."
This is seriously a big part of its appeal. Even if it's not great (and I don't think this is great) it's something different, and sometimes "different" is good enough.

I definitely liked the look of it; he was doing interesting things with lighting. But yeah, the narrative’s a bit of a mess!

Sheesh. I'll be more excited about promoting your book. I would pay all the money for a Sonny on Snyder project.
I don't care if it's horrible. I'll watch almost anything now as long as it isn't
1. a superhero movie.
2. A sequel prequel
3. A spinoff
4. A kids movie
5. Something based on a tv show or a ride at Disney
Oh, you are going to have to wait for Pig, then!
