Hail Caesar is good satirical take on Hollywood fixer but abundant subplots and appealing mostly for Movie buffs may act as major minuses.

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2016)

Hail,Caesar (2016): Until I watched Hail,Caesar,I have no idea about a role of "fixer" in Movie Production.Yes,Of course!,I have heard about them in other fields like Cricket,Matrimony etc.... But not even guessed this in Cinemas.After watching Hail,Caesar which is a fictional story that follows the real-life "fixer" Eddie Mannix (Brolin) working in the Hollywood film industry in the 1950s,I am sure that there are lot of hidden truths in Cinema Industry which are never known to media or public.
Plot: Hail Caesar! Follows a day in the life of Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), a Hollywood fixer for Capitol Pictures in the 1950s, who cleans up and solves problems for big names and stars in the industry. But when studio star Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) disappears, Mannix has to deal with more than just the fix. He also have to deal with several issues of other stars like unexpected pregnancy of the studio's wholesome and single screen "mermaid",De Anna Moran (Scarlett Johansson),Casting of studio's only cowboy Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich) in a prestigious romantic drama,spying journalist twins Thora and Thesley Thacker (Tilda Swilton) and Burt Garney (Channing Tatum),the studio's only Sailor star who is bit mischievous..Even Mannix has to chose a life as a fixer or a new job opportunity from Lockheed Corp.,the secure future of America through their secret atomic bomb testing.
Plus Points:
1)Plot: Hail,Caesar has great satirical plot of kidnapping a star by ghost writers of the Production Company who are not given necessary attention or remuneration.Mannix's life is so thrilling everyday as he is like a detective who spies on every actor's life but here he tries to cover up them.
2)Performances: Hail,Caesar,has one of the most Celluloid Cast of 2016.There are lot of renowned terrific actors in this movie,George Clooney,Scarlett Johansson,Josh Brolin,Channing Tatum,Ralph Fiennes.Tilda Swilton and other surprising guest roles..Each and everyone of them gave brilliant performance in this period drama.Josh Brolin and George Clooney are best.
3)Art Direction: Art Direction by Cara Brower is award winning work.The way they gave this movie a 1950's look of Hollywood is commendable.
4)Music: Music by Carter Burwell is wonderful.It has lot of foot tapping numbers and brilliant vintage BGM for every scene.
Minus Points:
1)Lot of subplots: Hail,Caesar has lot of subplots but the major problem is that they are not given proper conclusion.
2)Not for regular audience: Hail Caesar mostly appeals for those who are familiar with Movie Industry.Regular audience may not relate to this movie as its sarcasm focuses on issues in Hollywood.
SO,Hail Caesar is good satirical take on Hollywood fixer but abundant subplots and appealing mostly for Movie buffs may act as major minuses.
My rating 6.5/10
