  Review by Dave Taylor ★★★½

  Remember when you first saw Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds and you were blown away by his completely original character?

  …then you saw him in a few more things and realized that character was just more or less a version of himself?

  I guess it is not really a bad thing…that personality of his sure is charming (yet strangely unsettling).

  I sense however, that the person his character is supposed to be based off in this is nothing like Christoph Waltz.

  But the movie wouldn’t have been half as good if the actor playing Ulrich Mott wasn’t Christoph Waltz.

  However, the movie would have been much better if it wasn’t called Georgetown, because now in six months I’m going to…

  Review by davidehrlich ★★ 1

  It isn’t especially difficult to explain pop culture’s recent obsession with liars and con artists (see: “The Inventor,” the dueling Fyre Festival documentaries, and the forthcoming “Yesterday” among dozens of other examples), but Christoph Waltz’s “Georgetown” suggests that Washington D.C. was a magnet for megalomaniacal grifters long before Donald Trump reduced the property value of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Power has a funny way of attracting the most pathetic of people, and this half-formed, almost true dark comedy is nothing if not a story about the most pathetic of people. Alas, it stops a bit short of being anything else.

  Based on Franklin Foer’s 2012 New York Times article “The Worst Marriage in Georgetown,” Waltz’s directorial debut — in which he…

  Review by Allison M. 🌱 ★★★½

  “You can’t expect a magician to give away his tricks.”

  This is the second film I've seen in the theater in 2021 (not counting drive-ins). It was depressing to have only eight people in the theater, but also liberating when an elderly couple books seats too close to mine and I could just move. 7/1/18, I was supposed to see a preview screening in L.A., but it was canceled. In 2019, it made the festival rounds.

  As the opening credits rolled, a huge hint for the film's delay appeared: disgraced multi-hyphenate Brett Ratner was listed as a producer. USA Today reported that at least seven women accused him of sexual misconduct; Warner Bros. has severed their deal Ratner's company.

  “I’ve…

  You stink of alcohol!

  And you reek of the grave!

  I'll be honest, the film wasn't great. That exchange was iconic though. I laughed way too hard. My partner even did from out in the kitchen!

  Review by Daniel Paucar 🎃 ★★½

  Una cinta muy del promedio, con una historia muy atractiva pero con una narración muy tediosa y por partes aburrida, no hay ningún momento de brillantes pero como para pasar el rato esta piola. Su cast diría que es la principal razón para verla, Waltz y Vanessa Redgrave destacan muchísimo con sus interpretaciones. No fue un buen debut en la dirección para Christoph.

  Review by cherry cola ★½ 4

  christoph waltz type-casts himself in his own movie and then gives up on his own movie by the third quarter. but allegedly waltz was never given the final cut of his own film and was very angry about it?? 

  still, his directorial debut did achieve to further convince me that yes, i would like to marry christoph waltz just so that i can watch him die in a tragically accidental death and receive his inheritance. retirement home fucker nation is a fucked up place. but i think my christoph marathon is finally over?

  Review by Nicole Ackman ★★

  Making a movie this boring about this interesting of a story is honestly an achievement.

  Review by Charlie ★★½

  More interesting on the surface than I thought but was still a little on the dull side of things. Still, a good effort by Waltz in front and behind the camera.
