I like small films. I have the highest regard for Tender Mercies, Aftersun, and others of their kind. Causeway is one of them. The writing and direction are masterfully restrained, as are the three stellar performances (Henry, Houdyshell, Lawrence). Not a single false gesture. The chemistry between Lawrence and Henry will be studied in acting and film classes for a long time, I expect. I 'm just writing now to fill up the character count, but please understand that anyone who loves the arts of acting and filmmaking should view this. Easily one of my Top 10 for 2023, and highly recommended. An Oscar for Henry, please.
