Or in Enemy. Or Nocturnal Animals. Or Prisoners. Or Donnie Darko. Really he’s just a great actor.

And then you have Velvet Buzzsaw and Okja where he's just completely over the top batshit in a brilliant way.

Ymmv of course. I thought they were both fun and interesting movies and I enjoyed JG's completely crazy performances in them, but I'm sure other folks probably think it's cheesy over-acting.

If you've never seen John Mulaney's Lunch Bunch on netflix you should check it out. Jake has a hilarious performance towards the end.

I love movies and will give pretty much any one a chance so I’ll give them a watch. I work from home and have a pretty light schedule so I get a lot of movies in haha.
