I am glad people are praising Heath's new work, but I can't help feel ambivalent about him in this role. It's a great opportunity to flex his acting chops, hone his craft, all that sort of thing, but I just have a problem seeing him in such a grotesque role. I almost fear it might retroactively tarnish some of Ennis's glamor (which I don't think could actually happen).
AM pleased to know that Heath worked with another Gyllenhaal! One wonders about the conversations Heath and Maggie enjoyed together.
