    Cinematographic beauty squandered by Zionist propaganda.

    P.S. An outrageous insult to the lives lost beneath Israel’s boot — an insult delivered by a man who, I suspect, does not possess the intellect to understand his offense. Men like him are insulated from their mistakes by the money of Hollywood and they pay for them only in the public discourse. I hope he will meet criticism, but he should meet these hands instead.

    What a wonderful example of creative passion lit by the works of the past. There really isn’t quite anyone like Eggers right now. No one brings the weight (and accuracy) of history to original stories as he does. He promised a retelling of a classic tale and he delivered but told through a lens uniquely his own.

    This film was beautiful, no question, but it was also dirty, gross, and raw — a wonderful combination. Hoult and Taylor-Johnson are steady…
