One of the worst movies ever made in history, with good acting

Rating: 3/10 (21 August 2017)

The acting is good, even great at times; let's get that out of the way. It's the only bright spot. But it's not enough to save this painful movie experience.
Lubezki's camera work is impressive and a marvel. But after 30 minutes, we get the point, and there needs to be a good story too. Okay, so the story is a washed up actor on his last legs of sanity desperately trying to salvage whatever's left of his career, but at a point it becomes arduous to sit through.
This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. If it wasn't for the single take camera-work I don't think it would've gotten any praise or awards. Keaton is an 80s guy (gives a great performance in this by the way, award worthy, ironically), and this movie, if released in the 80s would have got 1 star, 2 max.the acting is great, but it's a painful, taxing watch that leaves you with ambivalence, at best, at the end.
If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch anything else. It's really a bad movie.
3/10
