Cliches from left to right

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2019)

Woody Allen did all that before but with more inspiration and better music too. This piece including all actors with maybe the exception of Laura Dern is a total sentimental bore - like really bad boulevard theater from the fifties ;-) That there are so many great reviews unfortunately doesn't bode well for the state of mind we currently have in this country. Obviously written and produced to get some Oscar recognition it fails on every level. Scarlett Johansson - really, what a let down. Midlife crisis maybe? Adam Driver? No, surely not. 2hours and 16 minutes because it's a 'drama' - lost time. All in all forgettable. Did I mention the constant syrupy music poured over every scene? Randy Newman - what was he thinking. After everything said though - it's never the fault of the actors and whatever hired hands, the disaster lies in the hands of the writer/director.
