Guillermo del Toro:

Went to the theatre to see Juror #2, Clint Eastwood’s latest film. We enjoyed it tremendously. It’s - in some ways — his “Crimes and Misdemeanors.” The film is precisely and assuredly filmed and it’s Nicolas Hoult’s to lead. The cast delivers beautifully, and it has an ending that set the theatre abuzz.

Its central dilemma reminded me of the quiet turmoil boiling under Dana Andrews in Preminger Noir of your choice (for me “Where The Sidewalk Ends”) and it wrestles with it, supported by a well-paced structure and well pondered twists. Why was this not released wide in the states?

We saw [“Juror #2”] at the Grove with a significant crowd that was vocal and responsive all the way. I truly hope WB can hold it longer. Eastwood is a master filmmaker and the steady, unfussy craft reveals him still in great form. Go see it on the big screen!
