The Card Counter
Cold and clinical would be the best way to describe The Card Counter. It’s a unique world, filled with an array of intriguing characters, with motivations that really pushed the film into interesting territory. It’s a clean film, with little room for interpretation, laying the facts out on the floor and letting you watch. Paul Schrader is such an interesting filmmaker, someone who I have grown very fond of within the last few years. This is yet another great film from him, and I cannot wait to see what else he has in store. The Card Counter is a powerhouse of a film, with a great cast working at their full caliber, with a director who knows exactly what he wants. It’s a marvel of a film, and one that I very much want to give another go to in the future.

Well done for what it was, but was left feeling that I wanted more from the film.

Seems like Schrader Fest 2024 is starting early… Yeah, I really dig this one. It’s grown on me each time I’ve watched it. Cinematic Stockholm Syndrome? Perhaps. But I really enjoy what Schrader is doing here, even if it’s glaringly unsubtle. Schrader Ranked (https://boxd.it/n9PFU)
The Card Counter
This one hit a lot better for me this time. Maybe it’s that I’ve become more familiar with Schrader throughout this year, maybe it’s just knowing what the movie is and having different expectations. Either way, this worked a lot better for me this time. Oscar Isaac is fantastic here. Cirk is still truly one of the most insane names I’ve ever seen in a movie. Schrader truly is goated with the sauce.
