by saying that she and her co-director Tom Luddy thought it was like something they hadn’t seen in a long while and labeled it flatly a “masterpiece”. That’s a lot to live up to , but Norton’s movie is indeed an extremely impressive one , particularly since he pulled an Orson Welles and stars, directs, writes, and produces it.This is only his second time behind the camera and it has somehow taken 19 years for the urge to kick in again .
He has made almost a jazz riff or tone poem with rhythmic conversations set in the city, backed by a stunning musical score from Daniel Pemberton, best I have heard all year, with lead horn played by Wynton Marsalis. The music is almost a character unto itself in the film which also benefits from gorgeous cinematography from Dick Pope and superb production design.It is not surprising that Norton would want to play Lionel. It’s an irresistible role and he sneaks up on you in memorable ways.
