Thanks for the Keener lead! I’m adding that to my see list.

Regarding BrianSez’s Review
“Schizophrenia meets Narcissism.” Great lead.

Interesting that this is one of the rare movies you rated higher than me. You’re usually the tougher grader.

Looking for more Katherine Keener? She’s the first character on screen in Cyrus.
