Out dated whimsy

Rating: 2/10 (17 December 2018)

Beautiful to look at, intriguing story and a great cast. What's not to like. Well, everything. In past times this would have been a Corman type 'b' picture. In today's age of media control it is Oscar winning art. Sorry, this is a poorly executed excuse for entertainment. Racism, bigotry, diversity, big brother,the cold war all played out in a base way with every plot line telegraphed. Hype will not persuade me this was the best film of 2018. Sadly disappointed and totally bemused by the the high ratings.
