Why make this movie?

Rating: 6/10 (17 April 2020)

Solid performances but what is the purpose of this movie? And why so many oscar nominations? It is like the producers thought "screw the audience. Lets make a boring Hollywood movie for Hollywood movie makers. We are going to get Oscars anyway because we know them and they know us"
That's how this whole thing looks like. It was like watching a theater play. The only interesting part was the last 10 minutes.
Nowadays, If you produce something weird, or gay, or you support a minority, you get dozen oscar nominations.
