The Shape of Oscar

Rating: 3/10 (3 November 2018)

Woman goes fishing. Never leaves. Makes an erotic, lustful career of it. This film has some perks. A decent acting ensemble. Michael Shannon, for one, delivers a character very easy to find despicable. But in all it's just hard to take for a best picture winner. Many find virtue in this film from its themes of prejudice. But Hollywood could have found similar themes in a film like Three Billboards; and Frances Mcdormand didn't even have to sleep with a carp. Oscar season is a real coin flip anymore for the Big prize.
