'When Jeff Goldblum is one of the least nutty elements in your movie, that's saying something.' Our review of the oddball indie road movie 'The Mountain'
writer-director Rick Alverson’s latest excursion into the minefield known as the male psyche, it suddenly seems as if you’re seeing him for the very first time. The heavy-lidded eyes, the lush-lipped handsomeness, the wary sideways glances and Actor’s Studio sensitivity — there are moments when you’d think the second coming of Brando or Monty Clift just walked into the shot.
Sheridan is best thing about this American Gothic parable of an ice-rink employee named Andy who watches his father , a skating instructor, drop dead during a lesson. He soon meets Goldblum’s Dr. Wallace Fiennes, who once treated the lad’s mother at a sanitarium. His specialty, we find out, is lobotomies. Fiennes enlists Andy to take pictures of him performing the procedure. Practicing such “an imperfect science,” however, takes it toll on the clinician as they tour the nation’s institutions.
It’s hard to say what Alverson is aiming for exactly with this flashback to gorgeously rendered social repression, though you’ll note that the white men in charge seem to be falling apart at the seems, women are told they’re nuts or literally shocked into submission, and the only way you can separate the lobotomized from your friends and neighbors are the bruises under the eyes.
