This is a very moving story--thank you. Will Sampson was a presence in my childhood because my dad took us to the movies. The article prompted me to go to the IMDB pages for Tim, Nancy, and Tafv to learn more.

My son and I saw the film last night in a packed movie theater. There were periodic gasps followed by stunned silence by what we were seeing. Scorsese's and Roth's shift from the white-savior trope to the family makes the movie even more devastating. They just need to give the movie all of the Oscars now, particularly Lily Gladstone and Robert De Niro. Just extraordinary.
