Whistle Down the Wind
★★★★ Watched

'Kevin is right about his cat. It’s all there in his dead cat. The Great
Judge can’t answer Kevin: ‘Why did my cat die?’ Answer:
‘Damned if I know.’ There is no answer; there is only a dead
animal that just wanted to cross the street. We’re all animals
that want to cross the street only something mows us down
half-way across that we never saw.'

Nixes much of Carver's difficult elements for glibness, which is undesirable. Ditching/re-arranging/modifying and eventually frankensteining "Will you Please Be Quiet, Please" and "So Much Water So Close to Home" was especially jarring, as it seemed to excise each text’s unique commentaries on how systemic misogyny affects personal relationships (which is an element I'd believe most film adaptations would want to keep). I would say that Lemmon's monologue is a near-perfect imitation of Carver’s first-person ramblenarratives, so it can’t be all bad.
