Hanging on in quiet desperation

 Movie: Here. Reuniting Tom Hanks and Robin Wright after all these years. Based on a 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire, the film stays on one piece of land (eventually house) throughout until the very end. That they used an AI technology called Metaphysic Live to digitally de-age the actors is disappointing but the alternative of using other actors who could not match the excellence of Hanks and Wright would never have worked. The plots proved mundane, but that is a huge part of real life and perhaps what they intended to show. We're born and we have dreams that are squashed in favor of hard work, a little love and in the end, we lose it all. So, yeah, a little depressing but I stayed awake and did appreciate the acting.
