Spectacularly bad....

Rating: 2/10 (3 January 2016)

Sorry, but what did I just watch? Some Spoilers ahead.
I was truly looking forward to this film and now I'm not sure why.
There first rule of film making is that the audience should be entertained. This was not entertaining to me in any way.
The biggest failure was the script, which seemed more like a rough draft. Clumsy and looking for a few more edits and a polish. Russell seems intent on showing the audience meaningless shots and drawing them out while passing over important points like they were nothing. The best example is when Joy literally goes from bankrupt to on top of the world after a five minute meeting with a man we've never met. She divulges secret information that we didn't see her collect and scares the poor guy into giving up everything. At this point in the film, we barely remember the importance of anything she discusses. But I really didn't care at that point because I, and apparently Russell as well, wanted to just get it over with.
Sorry, but what does it say about film making today when this is nominated for a Golden Globe?
