The Menu 2022
Very silly. Sometimes even funny.
However, you would have thought that there would be more explanation of certain plot points of the film given that the cast includes such mega-heavyweights?

The writing is jolty and stilted at times. The relationships are tenuous and character motivation gets buried by the sheer…

Hail, Caesar! 2016

You don’t really end up finding out too much about any of the characters, but you don’t really care. The pacing of the film is brisk but enough wry laughs are squeezed in that you never feel the desire to ponder about the previous scene too much, and it really…
