Gloria Bell (2018 Sebastian Lelio & co-scr)

Julianne Moore works, parties, sings along to the radio, puts out the cat, tolerates a crazy neighbour, visits her children, dates. She starts a relationship with an odd man who seems in thrall to his apparently divorced wife and adult daughters - the suggestion is he's still living with them. And he keeps leaving without a word, so it's quite natural she paintguns him. And - Q wants to know - how does that cat keep getting in?

Where does all this lead us? I don't know, really. I guess it's a remake of his own 2013 film Gloria.

With John Turturro, Caren Pistorius, Michael Cera, Brad Garrett, Holland Taylor, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Rita Wilson, Chris Mulkey.

The poem was not e.e. cummings, but Claudio Bertoni ('I'd like to be a nest if you were a little bird..')

Well, there it is.
