     This may be the strangest and quietest movie I’ve ever seen?  I didn’t know if I was going to be able to continue until the end?  Time is moving forward but the pace and the amount of time is a mystery?  I can see this is a dividing film with some viewers loving it and others hating it!!  3* (This movie is OK)

Note:  Imdb 6.9 out of 10, 91% critic 65 % audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon 3* out of 5* with 480 reviews, Roger Ebert 4* out of 4*, Metacritic 84 of 100 with 46 critics 6.9 out of 10 with 164 reviews.

Special Note:  Filmed in Irving and Fort Worth, Texas.  David Lowery used the funds he made from Pete’s Dragon to finance this film.  Filming was hidden from the public and the project wasn’t announced until months after filming wrapped.  Lowery wrote the screenplay after reading a 2015 New Yorker article titled The Really Big One by Kathryn Schulz.  The article discusses potential natural disasters that could destroy humanity.  Rooney Mara eats an entire pie in a scene and she's never eaten pie before?  The pie is vegan chocolate flavored and it tasted terrible to Mara but Lowery said it was delicious?
