Self aware enough to know it’s not the first to fall out of the coconut tree, it exists in the context of all in which it lives and what came before, from Swept Away… to Triangle of Sadness to LOST. Wipes its feet and skedaddles right before your patience runs out.

This is almost a parody of corporate liberal thinking

Like there was an orphan-crushing machine being distributed to all 50 states by the Republicans, and the Democrat response is a bill limiting the number of orphans that can be crushed

Josh Safdie continues to misunderstand what makes Scorsese or PTA movies successful, and it’s not by letting yourself off the hook. Awards bait of the basest degree, and deserving of none: boy Emilia PΓ©rez.

It’s depressing, this flaccid flop sweat soaking up such lovely production values and costumes or an odd moment from an actress (Gwyneth and Fran are blameless).

Reality TV stars, insipid sports underdogs, a bit of the ol’ ultraviolence, the opening to Look Who’s Talking, and the silliest subplot of Forrest Gump collide into bupkis. Ciphers and incidents abound, but the whole long affair is as weightless as a CGI ping pong ball. It’s just so hard to care.
