This could be this year's Argo if reviews are great and could get a Best Pic win!

Every year Telluride screens the eventual BP winner, and this is in..so it stands a great chance along with Beasts and Carol. 

[TStechnij]

I don't know guys. Reception seems positive but not that strong. It is doing okay on MC, but nothing great.

[Halba]

seems to be headed to get at least a nomination

is currently getting raves on rotten tomatoes

Yea if Joy and Revenant flop, I believe this or Steve Jobs will win BP.

[Halba]

Do not forget Carol.

[MinaTakla]

Do not forget Carol.

I don't think it will win BP imho - it lacks the passion but has the wide respect

[Hatebox]

No arguing with that RT. I suspect, like many 'Issue' films, it'll be forgotten more quickly than it perhaps deserves, but going by those reviews we might be seeing a lot more of it come award season.

[Halba]

oscar winner might be more 'event' related with a good box office gross like bridge of spies or the revenant

Ugh, if this wins BP I'll be so disappointed. It would just be an uninspired victor.

I saw it like half an hour ago. I thought it was good and sometimes great. The cast is great but Keaton and Ruffalo both had ticks that annoyed me. Ruffalo's role is showier, but some of his lines come off super false due to writing.

It is a very engaging thriller! I put it on the same level as Truth.

A solid 3/4. Steve Jobs, Carol and Joy would all be more exciting winners.

When's the last time a DiCaprio film flopped?

I think he means critically, in which case it is a The Great Gatsby.

Is it better than Argo? Something about this trailer reminded me of Argo, dunno why

Have you or anyone even seen Joy yet?

[TStechnij]

Have you or anyone even seen Joy yet?

Nope. I believe in DOR wholely.

But my question still stands.
