Exquisite

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2019)

I'll keep it short.
This is one of the two best movies I've seen this year, along with Uncut Gems.
A biting comedy, that bites a little too much towards the end. I am not a big fan of that shock conclusion. This great film didn't need shock to make it come alive.
The movie reminded me of satirical comedies such as Tootsie and Down and Out in Beverly Hills. Movies that take these interesting characters and puts them in environments that forces them to come to terms with life itself. It also reminded me of Billy Wilder. This is an old-fashioned fairly tale comedy, slapstick and all. Mr. Song is a a terrific actor and I hope that he and Adam Sandler are nominated for an Academy Award.
