An attempt to review Digger without becoming the person who ruins Digger.
The Riff. October 11, 2026
Before seeing Digger, I thought the advertising campaign sucked. After seeing it, I understood why it sucked.
How do you sell a movie when explaining why somebody should see it might take away part of what makes seeing it worthwhile?
If you love movies, this one is worth seeing. It’s thought-provoking, it’s a work of art, and I think I’ll be untangling it for the rest of my life.
To explain myself without spoiling anything, I went fishing. There was a sporting goods store, a very nice rod, and a promising spot with almost suspiciously convenient access.
Things eventually required an explanation.
