  Hi Glenn,
  There’s a tiny fac­tu­al mis­take in your review.
  (Spoiler Alert)
  On screen, Stellan Skarsgard’s char­ac­ter is not the groom’s fath­er. You can see Alexander Skarsgard’s on-screen par­ents leav­ing with him at the end of the party. On the cast list, one James Cagnard is lis­ted as “Michael’s father”.

  Odd. There is some­thing in the film that led me to con­clude the two char­ac­ters had that rela­tion­ship, so this is vex­ing news.By the same token, said rela­tion­ship or lack there­of turns out to be not at all rel­ev­ant to the film’s lar­ger scheme of things, so, I dunno. Will look into a fix.

  Trying to hide from us that you also reviewed J. Edgar, which –sur­prise!– you gave 4 stars to?
  Glenn’s back in the tank for General Clint!!

  Just saw this over the week­end, not four­teen hours before see­ing THE MUPPETS. (For the unmed­ic­ated, I advise see­ing them in that order, too.) The pro­logue is kind of an inter­est­ing coun­ter­point to some of the TREE OF LIFE mont­ages… if you did­n’t know bet­ter, you could think it was a par­ody. Most of the pro­logue is in the trail­er, sadly, so there was­n’t much sur­prise, but that does­n’t make it less enga­ging. I agree with Glenn re: Keifer. I wanted to fol­low his char­ac­ter a little more.
  Has he said wheth­er or not this and ANTICHRIST were part of a new Von Trier tri­logy? The pro­logues, title cards, ideas, etc. sug­gest they might be.
