11 Things We Learned At Sundance 201811 of 11
Kim Gordon Snuck in a Killer Supporting Role
Joaquin Phoenix is the subject of Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot, and Jonah Hill (looking like a lost Wilson brother) has earned raves for his seriocomic performance in the movie. But when we heard that Kim Gordon, the former anchor of Sonic Youth and our enduring No. 1 rock-'n'-roll parent, landed a supporting role as strong as her character's Valium addiction, we got our hopes up for what could be Gus Van Sant's best movie since Milk. And we were not disappointed one bit.
