Review of Hard Eight (1997) by Ben F — 06 Jan 2015
It is so downbeat and scenes are occasionally so overlong that it really tests your patience, but ultimately it is rewarding as a character study. The first act of the movie, as Philip Baker Hall shows John C.
Reilly the ropes, is worth the price of admission alone. It's a film that might leave your mind, but in the moment is thoughtful and something you can theorize about. A true seed for PTA's future masterpieces.
