Mark Ruffalo: 2 lines career ×1 verdict ×1

  1. career (career): Mark Ruffalo → Dark Waters. Ruffalo does non-Marvel work like Dark Waters alongside the Marvel films.
    “I can still watch like Dark Waters and I can be like, yeah, that's my man right there.”

Anne Hathaway: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Dark Waters → Anne Hathaway. Joke: Hathaway took the thankless wife role because Dark Waters acting is 'tax deductible'.
    “And I think Anne Hathaway took that role because, of course, it was tax deductible.”

May December: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (ambiguity contrast): May December → Dark Waters. Sean says Dark Waters is the only Haynes film where what is real is clearer.
    “Maybe Dark Waters is the only one where it's a little bit more clear to me, what, what, what is real in some respects.”

Peterloo: 1 line programming ×1

  1. programming (programming): Peterloo → Dark Waters. Peterloo will be in the 'Dark Waters zone': a get-around-to-it movie people will come around on.

The Lighthouse: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): The Lighthouse → Dark Waters. Golden Mops (Ben's movies-that-made-him-cry/wet): traditional pick is The Lighthouse, 'drenched in farts'; Dark Waters a dark horse.
    “Dark water should also be a dark horse pick.”
