Sheesh, Another Artsy Movie

Rating: 1/10 (10 February 2020)

Better than 'Birdman', are you out of your mind? The next thing you will say is that this is better than 'Police Academy'? How insulting? I'm not saying this movie is bad, no way. Nor am I saying "Parasite" is good either - because it is not. What can I say, I'm waffling all around the middle? The obvious inadvertence to materiality perfectly conjoins with the script's puerile jabber. Scene One stumbles onto screen and swiftly kicks out any semblance of reality. A family unable to butter toast become shifty, successful deadbeats swindling really stupid people out of their livelihood. Talk about poor messaging. Like so many 'Art' movies in the past. It seems designed to entertain only the elite. A kind of movie embraced by a few and soon forgotten by all. If I gave this movie a mediocre score, it would be too high. But it won an Oscar, so that tells me - ahhhh - nothing really.
