Is it superficial? Unquestionably. But Philip Brubaker gives us a few interesting morsels to chew on, beginning with the "blue suit mumbling in the supermarket" pseudo-synecdoche connecting THE LONG GOODBYE with PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE.
I'll be more impressed (and maybe more convinced) if Phil can bring something similar to bear on THERE WILL BE BLOOD and THE MASTER...but it's a mildly enagaing six and a half minutes.
