9 minutes agoI haven’t seen it and, although I know it gets panned a lot for various reasons, I highly recommend at least reading the snippets of reviews of the film by critics to get an idea. Even a lot of the so-called positive films are basically ‘this movie clearly sucks, but I liked it anyway.’
Basically, it’s a very expensive, pretty, and totally incoherent mess of a film that a few people feel is profound but most people think is a colossal piece of shit.

Also, some theaters have a lady stand in front of the screen and lip synch to a specific scene and then leave for some reason. Don’t ask me to explain that.
Edit: also, that link provides you with gems like this one from Richard Roeper-
I guess it depends for me. I love Roald Dahl, both his children’s and his adult’s work, even though he was a virulent antisemite (even the museum dedicated to him comes right out and says it). My dad, who was super-sensitive to that stuff, was okay reading his books to me when I was a kid despite that.
And I think the reason why is that he didn’t let his beliefs leak into his work. I can’t look back at any of his works that I have read and see any hatred of Jews.
On the other hand, there’s someone like Woody Allen (Jewish connection not intended here) who you can see his awful shit in his movies. He’s literally dating a high school student in his film Manhattan. And he treats her like shit and basically gets away with it too.
I can’t watch Woody Allen movies anymore.
