The only film critic in America converting a small barn to a henhouse?
I won’t refer to my not-a-professional carpenter, not remotely Amish efforts as “cinematic.” But let’s just say that putting down the rasp, the hammer, assorted screwdrivers, the jigsaw and the ancient power drill, I’ve never felt more “Keatonesque.
