  Perfect Sunday afternoon movie. If it’s on, I watch it.

  Nightmare Alley 2021

  ★★★ Watched 05 Feb 2022

  I can’t decide whether this movie was too long or not long enough. Interesting characters but you can tell there was a lot left on the cutting room floor in terms of backstory and deeper character motivations. You could make this a 7 or 8 episode mini series and it would be pretty compelling. Or you cut this movie down to 2 hours and just focus on Stanton’s singular progression and you could get something a little more polished. Decent acting and some good cinematic shots sprinkled in there but I doubt it will be taken seriously come award season.
