I'm doing a double feature of these this weekend while I'm kicked out of the house for Mrs. Utah's book club. I'm pretty stoked! Abigail seems like a fun premise (Dan Stevens renaissance incoming?), and I have a weird amount of time for late-period Guy Ritchie. "Beefcakes of Navarone"? Hell yeah.

Keith's right that ABIGAIL grows exhausting — the final stretch is one twist away from becoming SNL's "Dear Sister" sketch — but if anyone's interested, I had a fun time with it. The Radio Silence crew seems to have a knack for casting, and hit particular gold here, especially Stevens as a tightly wound grump and Newton as a sunny kidnapper. (Also, as someone receives AARP pamphlets, I'm not legally permitted to watch EUPHORIA , but Angus Cloud sure had screen presence to burn.)
