Yawn

Rating: 2/10 (1 October 2019)

Not one of Sorrentino's best - he does like his 'one central character focused, pensive, slow flowing sentimental' pieces but this one fails where others don't, mainly because he's gone down the Woody Allen route of trying to pack in as many big names and random celebs as he can at the expense of a real script.
Paloma Faith's appearance is nonsensical, Keitel's character sounds like his teeth are falling out, Weisz's hysterical daughter act does nothing for the film, and I don't buy anyone's relationship with each other...it all seems so contrived while trying to be clever and deep, but without any real content.
Michael Caine is the saving grace, his performance is superb as always but overall the script and his co-stars let him down.
