(Spoiler alert) I know that Cumberbatch will win awards for this performance, for sure. However, I hope that Kodi is not overlooked. He played his part with such cunning, like a snake that you never saw coming. His body language and persona seemed so fragile, but when you looked in his eyes, they were like pools of dark water where something was lurking. About half way through the film, I said, "His is going to end up killing that guy." However, I never dreamed the brilliant scheme that would unfold. In the smoking scene, his facial expression showed his complete domination of his enemy. Well done, dude!!

[@Lehmann108]

(spoiler alert) I agree. The first hint you have of Peter's more disturbing nature is when he brings the bunny home and is petting and loving it and then in the next scene he has it flayed open on his desk dissecting it. My reaction was a conflicted "WTF?"

Absolutely nothing to do with his stunning performance as Peter - he's just so thin.). TIME WELL SPENT watching this. I understand the Oscar Buzz - well deserved.

[@heretics25]

I get that Kodi and Benedict are getting so much attention for this, but even as a queer man, the MVP is Kirsten Dunst for me. She's the fulcrum for each of these 3 men, all of whom are failing and entrapping her (yes, her son included-his patronizing, condescending "protection" of her is the opposite of what she wants for him, so it's a deeply tragic ending). She was heartbreaking. All 4 of them were fantastic imo, but Dunst was......oh boy.

I think you guys are missing something. The fact that he was doing Phil a kindness. By "putting him out of his misery" like the rabbit.
