Plenty of strokes of genius

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2016)

This movie could easily be boring and incomprehensible, but the director and the writers managed to keep the viewer awake and make him pay attention to what's going on. A very lively direction and many good ideas (Margot Robbie, the cook and Selena Gomez above all) give the spectator the fundamentals to understand the story and a majestic cast with real good performances make the rest. The movie isn't perfect: it's a bit too long, the character portrayed by Christian Bale isn't really explored and some passages remain too hard to understand, but surely it's worth seeing it to have an example of how to turn a boring movie into something funny, brilliant and super-interesting.
