Has anyone read the first 10 of "Nathan Decker"? Could Fogelman have crammed in more exposition? He's really putting the "tell" in "show not tell." I wonder if selling this as a pitch lessened his motivation or something. Very unlike Fogelman.
The "life story monologue" plays out later in the film, though. Where Nathan is about to repeat it to the female lead, then catches himself, and admits that it's all a pre-prepared speech.
