    All the President's Men

    ★★★★★

    I love how all these political slang terms relating to shady government conspiracies sound like hardcore band names e.g ‘Deep Throat’ and ‘ratfucking’ I guess if you’re gonna undermine the American constitution and sow discord into an entire country you may as well go hard. 

    Um anyway I love DH and RR, this movie rocks, thought it was gonna be boring in the first few minutes, but my 21st century social media addicted dopamine starved brain was quickly rapped.
    Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee is another stand out. Um yeah that’s it stop reading this and go watch All the Presidents Men now please 😊

    Well I’ll start off with the positive. It has the most realest depiction of human misery and suffering I’ve ever seen in my life (in a movie)  

    Outside of that it’s brutally slow, scenes draw out for far too long and make you feel like you’re being punished for watching.
    The camera lingers on the back of peoples heads, walls and characters sleeping with no visual styling. 
    There wasn’t a wiff of storytelling, just shots of dour looking people…
