Delightful, give it a chance

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2016)

It took me about 20 minutes to accept the movie. The scene of Ralph Fienes drilling the drawl out of Alren Erenreich's elocution locked me in, and I "got it". THe love the Coens have,for movies, for all the "Hollywood Touches" that all the movie makers in the history of American movies pervades every scene. I have to fault the writing for and performance by George Clooney. There's something missing,maybe the actor's connection with the role, or the elusiveness of that due to spotty writing of the part. Altho, when I think "Victor Mature", Clooney's role works much better. Brolin is great, his secretary great. All in all absolutely delightful, very dear, even precious.
