The discourse around this movie is going to be dominated by the prosthetic nose. It's a weird creative choice, in this day and age.

Also, is it just me or does this look like Cooper trying to ape the look and feel of a PTA movie? He's on record as a big fan. Other random thought: 'person having a mental breakdown at the bottom of a swimming pool' has become one of the odder cinematic / televisual cliches of the past decade.

Anyway, despite these misgivings, it looks like it might be alright.

When I started the trailer I didn't know he was the director -- and my first guess for who he's imitating iz actually more like making the Accessible Amblin version of Pablo Larraín. The cinematography looks tight ~

Yeah, Pablo Larraín is a good shout, actually.

We're not exactly awash with big budget romantic dramas these days, so it's nice that Cooper has decided to keep the art alive with his first two projects as a director.
