Digger
from Geek On Film Hosted by Robbie Holmes
Send us Fan Mail Digger has been one of the most divisive films of the year, so Robbie waited until he'd seen it twice, once on a CineXL screen and once in IMAX, before weighing in. The first half is spoiler-free: why Alejandro G. Iñárritu and Tom Cruise make one of the most ambitious pairings ever put on screen, why Riz Ahmed anchors both the drama and the comedy, and why the "all noise, nothing to say" complaint misses the point. Then Robbie counts down into spoiler territory, so if you haven't seen it yet, that's your cue to hit pause. The verdict is ambitious, audacious, chaotic and frustrating by design. It's Cruise's best work since Magnolia, and the window to see it in theaters is closing fast. Plus: a first look at Award Ceremony Tracker, Robbie's new app for ranking your Letterboxd films by awards category. awardsceremonytracker.com Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ Letterboxd Review: boxd.it/gH4c4d #geekonfilm Support the show
