LINOLEUM (2022) Directed by Colin West

[rookie-critic]

Linoleum (2023, dir. Colin West) - review by Rookie-Critic

I love it when a movie surprises me. Some of my favorite moviegoing experiences from the last few years have been going into something relatively blind, and coming out with something I will absolutely never forget. It gave me C'mon C'mon, my top film from 2021, it gave me The Worst Person in the World, my #3 film 2021, and it has now given me Linoleum. The film follows Jim Gaffigan's Cameron Edwin, an astronomer who hosts a declining children's science show à la Bill Nye the Science Guy who, due to the said decline of his show as well as his marriage, which is on the brink of divorce, is in the middle of a well-earned mid-life crisis. Also, a car with an award-winning astronaut in it falls from the sky next to his mailbox and he is the only person who witnesses the "accident," and nobody believes it really happened. The film invokes a lot of magical realism and, from the opening scene, evokes a Gondry-esque dream-like quality not too far removed from the French director's films Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep.

The film is mean to it's protagonist, but not in a malicious way: his daughter Nora (portrayed by Katelyn Nacon in a fantastic performance) is disrespectful to him in a way that teenagers often are, but clearly has a love for him as she watches and seems to genuinely enjoy his children's show, his wife (portrayed by a fresh-off Better Call Saul Rhea Seehorn in an equally fantastic performance), who is in the process of falling out of love with him, still shows the hallmark signs of lingering care for this person she'd built a life with. Everything feels very domestic and real in it's dreaminess, but still, something about the full picture isn't quite right. That is, until the third act, when the film slams all of its individual, seemingly disjointed and mysterious pieces together to form a complete 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle of a moving and incredible story about how we live our lives and how, looking back, it is a beautiful and wondrous miracle that we all get to spend any amount of time on this small, blue rock we call planet Earth with one another. It shows us that, between despair and hope, between love and hate, that ultimately, hope prevails, love wins, and our intrinsic curiosity about the universe drives us forward towards something fantastic. What that is will be different for everyone, but there is beauty in that unknown, and we should all strive to close our eyes and let the universe form that fantastic something around us and guide us through it.

Normally, I'd take a handful of sentences here to talk about things I didn't like about the film. I could say that the film's final act takes big, artistic swings that will most likely not please all viewers. I could say that elements of the story don't mesh well with the answers to the film's mysteries. These are things that I can see people complaining about with Linoleum, but I would urge those people to watch it again, and really open your mind up to what the film is doing with that third act. Don't be the person telling Cameron to be more practical and that the answer is "not that simple," because the truth is, much like we're told in the film, it probably is. I used to not cry at films at all, and I would tell people that something would have to be truly, uniquely moving to draw tears out of me. Over the past few years I've realized that is no longer the case (maybe it never was), and I openly and proudly cry frequently during movies and shows. I genuinely believe that, had I seen this back when I didn't shed the frequent tear, that I would still have done so while watching Linoleum. It ticked all the right boxes and did all the right things to make it an instant classic in my eyes, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Score: 10/10

Linoleum

Linoleum    [trailer]

When the host of a failing children's science show tries to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut by building a rocket ship in his garage, a series of bizarre events occur that cause him to question his own reality.

Even though there are some hard to explain things going on, the movie kind of lulls you in, it's almost a little boring.

But towards the end it becomes clear that the story is indeed not that simple. It unexpectedly gets a little surreal, and you have to pay attention in order to follow what's going on.

Overall, a charming and good-natured little film, that turns out to be more ambitious than it first seems.

Jim Gaffigan Reaches for the Stars in Exquisite Drama

This review was originally part of our coverage for the 2022 SXSW Film Festival. Everyone has their “own personal universe,” states Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan), the host of an unpopular children’s science show that dreams of greater ambitions. Edwin’s father Mac (Roger Hendricks Simon) used to say there were two types of people in this world—astronauts and astronomers—and while Edwin has been…

The Dressmaker’s Secret: Messy Realism in Communist Romania

By Ross

Sarah Levine Simon and Mihai Grunfeld’s The Dressmaker’s Secret, getting its world premiere at 59E59 Theatres, is obviously a personal piece direct from the heart and most definitely from a deeply felt memory. Based on Gunfeld’s novel, ‘The Dressmaker’s Son, the play is…

Love in Kilnerry Movie Review

Love in Kilnerry is definitely the kind of movie that you’d expect to see as a sixties sex-romp comedy but it’s actually brand new.

Kilnerry is a small “anytown” with a big problem—their drinking water is tainted by a chemical called P-172 which, while not a health hazard, will massively increase their libido. They get the news from an EPA agent (Debargo Sandal) at a town meeting and respond in several different ways without really knowing what to expect.

One of the funniest turns is from Sybil Lines, who plays Aednat McLaughlin, a classic disapproving “spinster” who is anti-romance and definitely anti-sex… of course, she becomes among the most liberated and libidinous as the additive in the water takes hold. Another unlikely character, town gossip Brigid (Sheila Stasack), gets a mad crush on Mayor Jerry Boylan (Tony Triano) and things get very wild between them. A stuffy priest, Father Wesley O’Dell (James Patrick Nelson), justifies his sudden need for nudity by saying Adam and Eve didn’t have clothes, either. Then there’s the sheriff’s dad—and the local mail carrier—Fergal O’Reilly (Roger Hendricks Simon) who takes to delivering packages with his own package fully exposed!

There are more than just raunchy jokes and sight gags to Love in Kilnerry, though. After all, “love” is right there in the title. With inhibitions dispensed, a few of the previously uptight or overly shy residents open themselves up to the possibility of real relationships. The humor is nicely balanced with drama and some heartwarming moments as well. That’s not to say it’s a perfect film—there are a few gags I found a bit too goofy, but of course, comedy is subjective.

Kudos must go to Daniel Keith, who not only stars in the film as Sheriff Gary, but also produced, directed, and wrote Love in Kilnerry. It’s long been a “passion project” of his; press notes say that he came up with this quirky tale as a play during his stint as an actor in the TV shows “The Blacklist” and “Luke Cage.” The play’s performances were well-received, so Keith took the necessary steps to find financing for this film, which has been picked up by Regal Cinemas for a theatrical run. Love in Kilnerry goes to the small screen via streaming platforms in October.

If you love movies like Calendar Girls or Hope Springs, you’ll definitely enjoy Love in Kilnerry.
