Wow, my comment below is so nasty I don't remember writing it! Haha, well even if you love Anderson and think I'm an asshole you should check out this film. It's something special.

Wish I could see what you do in Judy Berlin, Mike... I'm a big fan of 3 Backyards, but I thought Judy Berlin played like a bad episode of the Twilight Zone. Seeing as Mendelsohn has only had the chance to make two movies so far I would say that answers your question about his worked compared to Anderson's. I guess time will tell... I do hope we get more movies from Mendelsohn.

Interesting. I loved 3 Backyards but it wasn't as strong as Judy Berlin, for me.

Why isn't Eric Mendelsohn more famous than P.T. Anderson? His debut feature is better than Anderson's whole career. Oh well, that's the it has to be for real artists, I suppose.
