Just caught this on Apple and I highly recommend! The script is clunky at times, and I know it went through post-production hell (it was a Scott Rudin project). But the acting is excellent across the board.

Jennifer Lawrence stars as an army vet grappling with the lasting effects of a serious brain injury as she re-adjusts to civilian life in New Orleans. She’s superb in a detailed, un-showy performance.

Cast includes a murderer’s row of theatre character actors: Brian Tyree Henry (an awards-worthy role if this release had a higher profile), Linda Emond, Jayne Houdyshell, Russell Harvard, and Frederick Weller.

Been reading and hearing a ton of buzz on it - and watched it after the Will Ferell Christmas Movie with Ryan (totally loved it)

Causeway was really good.  Brian Tyler Henry should get a SAG and Oscar Nom for this.   Jenifer Lawrence is giving a hell of a performance as well.

wish there was more of Jayne tho

worth a watch - it's really good

A very worthy nomination for the always-great Brian Tyree Henry at the Oscars this morning!

Worth a watch for those who haven't seen it.
