With a strong cast and strong reviews I went into this film feeling optimistic, but the hope slowly started to fade and somewhere around the hour point (could have even been less) I gave up as I was struggling to keep my eyes open despite getting a good nights sleep the prior evening.
I think this is another classic example of how some people appreciate what the movie is saying vs whether or not it's actually a good watch. And I'm not suggesting that those people are watching movies the wrong way. Not at all. To each their own. It's just not how - or why - I watch movies. I want to be entertained or engaged or feeling something. This film left me feeling tired and bored and wondering what I was going to switch to next. Satires can be executed well. This wasn't one of them unfortunately.
