Meanwhile over on HBO, Lanterns is ends in the most Warnersy way possible: a white guy and a Black guy pledging their love to one another (nohomo) and the promise of Black liberation through "independent contracting"

If Jesse Plemons in Digger is a utopian vision of David Ellison, Tom Rhys Harries in Clayface is his dystopian complement Both movies turn on petulant whiteboys lashing out at Black women (Naomi Ackie, Sophie Wilde) in precarious positions of power with whom they have made binding agreements

Even @manohladargis.bsky.social's pan is haunted by Digger's real interest. It's not just Plemons being Plemons (or Plemons being the WB Plemons from Game Night). This performance is the movie's making space for an unnerving accommodation to its impending patron, David Ellison.
there are some nice moments now and again in “Digger,” which features another eerily destabilizing performance from Jesse Plemons that makes you want to follow his character to wherever he’s going. The relative restraint and expressive specificity of Plemons’s performance — his character holds his gaze on other people a touch too long, and his smile seems backlit by madness — is a relief, given the rest of the cast’s cartoony turns.
