Nuance? For House? Now you're really being silly
Watch it again, and with fresh eyes. House piles up cinematic tricks and plenty of them look dated to modern eyes, but I bet you still had a raucous time watching it, and I bet you were far more impressed with its imagination than you are letting on. Maybe more than you really realised.
(and by the way, you're being entirely unfair, since only my first post could be described as layering superlatives, and only that because I was so happy to be thinking of House again)
I still can't help but feel like you are bsing the whole thing, eschewing any kind of concrete example of demonstrable nuance in favor of a thick layering of superlatives which have meaning primarily within the lexicons of film majors, while derisively dismissing any suggestion of fallibility. If it is an act it is a truly remarkable performance.
