My first reaction to all the close-ups was to be happy about this purple plaid jacket, and to wonder if he had matching trousers, or what crisp finish he could come up with to these nice, precise layers.

I should probably know better.

Now my reaction is to be happy about the purple plaid jacket, and to feel very SORRY for it, because it’s being asked to do mop-up duty for some messy layers and baggy pants and hiking shoes. None of which are actively OFFENSIVE on their own; they have their place in regular life, even if they look only okay. I look only okay almost all the time! Run your errands or grab your takeout or lead that singalong at a glampsite in moderate temperatures, Robert! But as an outfit for your movie screening, it’s about as composed as when you sit down to a piano and just smash some keys with your palms. There is only so much this jacket can do.
