DISSONANCE
Today's movie was the NYTimes Critics' Pick
I didn't like it.
There were two quartet films that came out at the same time and I had reason to believe that this was the one worth seeing. Maybe not.
Actors fake playing instruments is always perilous and this is no exception. I have the hunch that they had to redub the whole thing because the lip synch is off from time to time. Disturbingly so.
I don't even want to go into why it is wrong wrong wrong.
I just didn't like the story, the actors, the music or even the direction or photography.
But I can be a bastard about things like this and it had, as it turns out, three of my least favorite actors in it. Walken, Keener and Hoffman who can be good but not today.
A rare 1 out of Netflix5.
OH! In this trailer look for the RKO antenna logo! I have not seen it for decades. Wonderful. Better than the fucking movie.
