Linoleum on Hulu. Jim Gaffigan's a very good actor.
Rhea Seehorn was excellent too. They all were. I really appreciate this film.

(25,480 posts)Very good! Why have I not heard of this film?
bif
(25,480 posts)For those who've seen it, I have a question about what actually happened.
Scroll down.
The way I interpreted the film is Jim Gaffigan's character was dying. And the whole rest of the movie was basically his life, plus some distorted views of what actually occurred. Is that how you saw it?

What did you make of the little boy?

(19,756 posts)If you think about it the way that reviewer did, then the asshole neighbor is his gentle scientist father in the past. But I just dont see his gentle scientist father ever being such a bigoted sadist. I think Im just going to try to let it go.
Thanks for talking about it with.
