What if I tell you it’s about extraordinary works of art made from stuff that was taken from the world’s largest landfill? No?

Big Letdown

Last updated on: October 3, 2012 at 5:48 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

Can you guess what my favorite film critic, Steven Greydanus, is writing about here? Too much feels haphazard. Stuff happens, and later other stuff happens, and in between there’s a lot of moody standing around and angst and stuff.
