Some movies are like really fine wines. They need time if they are to be properly appreciated. That is the best way to approach this very well made film. Slow and langorous, true, but beautifully shot and acted with a casual brilliance, especially by the extraordinary Kevin Spacey. The ending is a near perfect bit of irony. I must mention the extraordinary Irma P Hall and Lady Chablis. Both of them deserve a place in the Hollywood Hall of Fame. Eastwood confirms, once again, that he is one of the very best there is.
