Mister Buddwing was an interesting watch, but I found the pacing a bit slow at times. The film's exploration of identity and memory was intriguing, but the overall tone felt a bit too somber for my taste. Garner's performance was solid, but I felt that the ending could have been more satisfying

Been a big fan for several decades of Garner so when I saw Mr Buddwing on tv and hadn't heard of it I gave it a chance. It's an odd movie but pretty good. I heard when they made it the crowds gathered on the street while they filmed and Garner spent time talking to them all.
