Very good, well written, slowly paced, about a Vet and his daughter living homeless off the land near Portland, a sort of the tale of those countless people broken and tossed aside by the system.
I enjoyed this, and it was a different sort of story-telling. Expect a lot more movies like it when the Pandemic has passed.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve, with Jake Gyllenhaal & Hugh Jackman. Good, suspenseful, but a watch-once sort of movie. I enjoyed the "war on terror" allusions and metaphors, and was drawn in somewhat by the plot - but - could have as well found something a little richer.

In full Apocalypse mode, watching the trailer and select scene from the old Dustin Hoffman film "Outbreak". Which was overall a pretty bad movie, but what's curious is how every character has their own agenda, plan, scheme...
As the reality unfolds we discover how optomistic - literally - those predictions were - even for the Villains.
And, after that "12 Monkeys" - which is grotesquely brilliant, Brad Pitt - Bruce Willis - both well outside their typecast roles, and both turning in amazingly relevant performances. Still a 5 star movie, and it hasn't aged badly, not a bit...

Quite enjoyed this, the aesthetic, look, feel, animation, but on that note Wes Anderson commits the sin of having the "American Savior". By this point it should be obvious that they can't even save themselves. So - all in all, a very good film diminished by the gratuitous presence of an American.
