Quarantine Watch #577: Kajillionaire (2020)

Evan Rachel Wood is really getting a chance to showcase how good of an actress she is especially in this idiosyncratic world that Miranda July is so good at crafting. It is such an interesting experiment to see an adult who can’t truly exist in the world due to the way her selfish and hypocritical parents presented the idea of the world to her. This is the most I have ever like Gina Rodriguez and while I believe her being drawn into the family and the innocence of Old Dolio (especially in the hand scene) I don’t buy them being a romantic couple by the way the film’s ending showcases. However, the final moments of the film is really fantastic in presenting the messed up love and code of conduct this family has. Richard Jenkins and Debra Winger are also so great in this.
