I can’t believe I have never see that. On my bucket list. Thanks for mentioning.
It’s a fun Scorcese movie - if you can imagine that. Alice is a single mother with lousy taste in guys, saddled with a kooky kid. She moves around the southwest trying to find a job as a singer. It says a lot about Reagan and Trump voters although, of course, the movie is completely a-political.
Great performances from a cast that includes Ellen Burstyn, Kris Kristofferson, Jodie, the little boy who plays her son, and an explosive performance from Harvey Keitel.
As a former student of Stella Adler, I can tell you that Harvey Keitel is nothing like the character he plays in this movie or other movies.
