Magazine Dreams Is a Punishing Experience


And that’s without even getting into the Jonathan Majors of it all.

She brings up his migraines and hallucinations in which he hears his late mother’s voice, and his history of aggression, which includes a recent incident at the hospital that resulted in Killian telling the nurses he was going to “split their skulls apart and drink their brains like soup.” He responds by launching into a non sequitur about living in a food desert and having to drive six miles for fresh produce. The choice to seek out or avoid someone’s work based on their history is a personal one, in no small part because the film and television industries appear to have opted out of establishing any firm boundaries, and Majors is one of a slate of actors who are shouldering their way back into the mainstream after temporarily being deemed too radioactive. Killian’s life amounts to a series of brutal routines broken up by occasional bouts of rage or despair, but neither Bynum nor Majors attempt to let you inside the character — he’s a beetle getting pinned alive to a handsomely crafted display case.
