    Behind every successful Asian woman, is a balding white man in a tie with no real job. I watched this in a Chinese class with the preface from my professor that: “this film is biased towards a pro-democracy value-set”. Unfortunately true, it also lacks much of anything else. I genuinely cannot believe my 3rd favourite French paedophile Luc Besson was behind this travesty. None of his trademark perversion, just a very by-the-numbers Nobel-Peace-Prize biopic, that feels the need to centre…

    In a classic tale straight out of Ovid’s Metamorphoses; the Coen Brothers just couldn’t resist the allure of remaking the film they s̶o̶ o̶b̶v̶i̶o̶u̶s̶l̶y̶ c̶r̶i̶b̶b̶e̶d̶ a̶l̶l̶ t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ p̶l̶o̶t̶ s̶t̶r̶u̶c̶t̶u̶r̶e̶s̶ f̶r̶o̶m̶ were so inspired by.

    This is what it's like to be a dude, a chap, a lad, a fella, the sort of guy that sees Bill Clinton in a Drive (2011) starring Ryan Gosling jacket and thinks; "that's me".

    Anyone can hate the rich, but do you have the courage to hate the poor? Truly the film of Fine-Gael-cels world wide. Land-chads being the last brick in the wall against the tide of unwashed masses of rentoids, ready to flood our fair republic; the varadkareich. Aside from the fact this gives me big Squid-Games and Oldboy vibes, I can't really add anything else, just an amazingly solid feature. And other than the obligatory; I actually watched this before it won the Oscar.
