I spent almost two hours trying to figure out what this Hail, Caesar! was about. Was it a farce? Was it wry look at the 1950s movie business and the studio system? Was it a commentary on Communism and McCarthyism? I’m still not sure, and walked away confused and befuddled.
The studio directive of keeping Pride, Prejudice and Zombies PG-13/kid friendly, as well as the sloppy editing of Padraic McKinley, will certainly contribute to this film not becoming a cult hit.
I also had flashbacks a few times to a similar film, The Perfect Storm, as I watched the small ship battle to crest the waves barreling down upon them.
While slightly shallow and scathing at times, The Devil Wears Prada takes a harsh look at the Fashion industry and doesn’t always paint it in the best light.
Upon my initial watching of Everest, I found the first 25 minutes fairly boring. However, after watching the film a second time I was more interested and invested in the characters, which made me pay closer attention.
Diary of a Teenage Girl is certainly an in your face, realistic view of the world of a teenage girl and Powley plays her beautifully. Her balancing act between innocence and maturity seems genuine and engages the audience to join her on her journey.
