The Verdict Director's Cut
It's tempting to call this scale beating intimacy, but the truth is closer to comfort beating discomfort. Prisoners is built to disturb — it puts a decent man in an indecent place and refuses to let him or you off the hook, and a film that disturbs will always shed voters who'd rather not be disturbed. Dune: Part Two overwhelms without wounding; its grandeur asks for awe, not complicity. Awe collects everyone. So a margin this size isn't the desert dwarfing the manhunt. It's the difference between a film that makes you flinch at yourself and a film that lifts you out of yourself, in a contest where the lift wins almost every time.
