Not far from the shallow

Rating: 5/10 (22 October 2018)

If you´re hoping for some innovative story lines, don´t hold your breath. However, the fact that the plot is clichéd is not a problem for me. The main issue though is 1. the flatness of the characters that do not evolve throughout the whole movie, 2. the fact that the movie does not leave any room for you to think/feel anything - it is extremely literal, especially the finale. I mean, Jackson´s suicide and the last scene? I couldn´t help but think whether the creators were serious. Don´t get me wrong, I can see the craft behind the movie, I think the production was quite meticulous; unfortunately, it just doesn´t work. And I didn´t notice much of the supposed chemistry between B. Cooper and Lady Gaga.
All in all - it is watchable, but it´s a Coelho of movies - trying hard to look deep (fooling the majority of people in doing so), but in fact being very shallow.
