It wasn't boring yet didn't make me laugh out loud. It was Sensible Chuckle: The Movie. It's also a Greatest Hits of writer/director David O. Russell: especially the political screwball comedy tone. As someone who has an interest in the Business Plot, I liked his insights on '30's corporations, racism, and fascism. Still, the film has some odd points, including too many actor-y backstories and weird flashbacks. But it's recommended and could make a good double bill with Knives Out.

How to turn incredible ingredients into a barely mediocre movie. Pemberton, Lubezki, Bale and Robbie try to save what they can.

It's OK, but with the talent involved I expected more.

I am too old to complain about watching a film I don't like. There's no reason for me to keep watching. I can turn it off at any time! I have this need to keep watching, just so when this ever comes up in conversation (it won't), I can say, "eh, I didn't like it."

This has likely the most bonkers cast of the year. A bunch of actors I really like, then one of my all-time faves (Bale, who was great). A good director. Great set design. Watching Robbie/Bale/Washington's friendship was EASILY the best part. Some comedy but not lol-worthy. But my god does this wander. I've seen critics say that it's a wild ride plot-wise but what? I wanted them to get on with it. Too long for what it is. I got some enjoyment out of it but it's a waste of a brilliant cast.

Totally uninteresting from start to finish. The comedy parts are not appealing, while the plot does nothing to hold the viewer's attention. A pity that its title bears the name of one of my favorite cities. Disappointing.

I was really, really into it until they left Amsterdam. Then it really dragged on and I don't get the moral of the story at all, or perhaps I'm just tired of tying all of America's problems to the Nazis. All the actors were great and I did not know Taylor Swift was in it. Fav scene: we need more mean girl Anya Taylor-Joy.

Listen, I've got nothing against emotive films that want to be artsy. What I hate are boring films that take too long to show you anything. I also hate films that think the audience is dumb and therefore need to have everything explained to them. Sadly, this was both. That dog was the best part of the movie.
