"Brilliant" is too mundane a word to describe Michael Shannon's performance. "Transcendent" is overused to the point of blandness. To quote his character, "I go back to madness." Mad, transcendent brilliance seems like a good place to start describing what he achieves here. Melissa McCarthy's performance yet again confirms her spot at the top of my "fantasy best friend list" and I may be willing to let Bobby Cannavale crash the party because his performance was so darn disarming that every scene he was in was an unexpected emotional risk worth taking. Luke Evans succeeds to sneak up on you as the confidant you didn't know you needed and Carmel? Let's just say I feel a tiny bit of her pain.
I'm....sorry - I just did a whiskey spit-take because "Fabio" Cannavale...you'll know when you see it.
But Jesus - Michael Shannon. This is gonna be a moment for him. This is gonna be a thing.
