"YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING’s second half is so shocking precisely because the intervention of the prison has made it impossible to see anything, turning the film into one about absence and how we make sense of the violent loss of control that lurks at the boundaries of American life."

the third paragraph of this YCSE review by @ocksportello (which obviously has spoilers) is the best thing I've yet read on the movie bkmag.com/2026/10/21/you-can…

amazing story on the “Mayor of Maria Hernandez Park” aka “Tree” who I saw get shot outside my apartment
🎵 and he’s already back to blasting Evanescence every morning again!! 🎵
Replying to @brooklynmag
Within mere days, he was shot in the leg and lost one of his coops. And yet, the neighborhood icon, known to some locals as "The Mayor of Maria Hernandez," claims he's at "100 percent."
