Linoleum on Hulu. Jim Gaffigan's a very good actor.

7. Question about the movie (Spoiler alert!)

For those who've seen it, I have a question about what actually happened.
Scroll down.





The way I interpreted the film is Jim Gaffigan's character was dying. And the whole rest of the movie was basically his life, plus some distorted views of what actually occurred. Is that how you saw it?

8. Spoiler alert again

I hadn’t thought of that! I thought he was falling into dementia, which we could think of as a type of death as well.

What did you make of the little boy?

[bif]

10. Not sure about that. You?

[mahina]

11. Thinking maybe he was the childhood self?

[mahina]

12. Aha

I don’t know how helpful it is to hear this stuff but here’s this person’s take- https://www.moviemaker.com/jim-gaffigan-linoleum-ending-explained/#

13. That was pretty much my take

Thanks for posting it.

14. Oh you bet. I'm still thinking about that movie a few days later trying to wrap up loose ends.

If you think about it the way that reviewer did, then the asshole neighbor is his gentle scientist father in the past. But I just don’t see his gentle scientist father ever being such a bigoted sadist. I think I’m just going to try to let it go.

Thanks for talking about it with.
