It honestly surprised me; I don't mean I was expecting something sub-par - the other 2 are good films in their own right - but I was expecting something more or less the same. Midnight surpassed those 2 in in terms of depth of characterization (see the excellent hotel scene) and both actors elevated their performances.
I also watched Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), which shares somewhat of a kinship to Cassavetes' own Opening Night - Opening Night-lite, if you will - but lacks the depth of that film's central character. It's a good, solid little film, mostly due to the acting of Binoche.
ye was expecting something pretty stale but not bad really nice surprise
should see more assayas and the rest cassavetes
carlos maybe next
thought summer hours was excellent when it came! and demonlover is interesting
