Summary
Richard Linklater is a beloved American auteur with a heart as big as his Texas homeland and a colorful Boomer childhood (that almost assuredly included experimenting with psychedelics) to influence the stories he tells. So it stands to reason that he would be the ideal writer/director for a film adaptation of a novel about a Los Angeles vanguard architect turned Seattle stay-at-home mom played by iconic ice queen Cate Blanchett-- and not a single frame of it Rotoscoped. This film left us with so many questions: why is the title question answered in the first scene? Can you accurately diagnose a mental health condition based on interior design? And is there another character actor who rivals our affections for Judy Greer?
