One response to “10/8 Oscarweb Round-up”
I did get to see CHANGELING on Sunday morning at the NYFF, and will be trying to scalp a ticket for the Aronofsky on Sunday. I do know I share with Mr. Tapley a love for the director’s previous effort, THE FOUNTAIN.
CHANGELING was well-crafted but it had little depth.
