Entertaining just if you're under 10 years old, with the usual Jim Carrey performing his usual grimaces and his usual over the top acting. Not a complete waste of time, however.
"Exercise of style" is often a pretty abused expression to indicate a movie (or else) that is a sort of showoff of the director: in this case, unfortunately, it's totally appropriate. It's not a failure (Silvio Orlando's performance is monumental and the visual aspect is awesome), but Sorrentino's approach, in my opinion, has undertaken an insubstantial direction. Mark: 6.5 / 10
Pretentious. Overly theatrical. Unfocused. I'm not a fan of this (inexplicably praised) extremely long story about this (invented) Hungarian architect seeking for inner and professional recognition. And, frankly, both Brody and Jones have delivered better performances. Mark: 5.5 / 10
From the director of the magnificent "Im Westen nichts Neues", the election of a new pope becomes a sort of thriller where almost nobody could be considered free from blame. Awesome cast and incredible technical presentation. Mark: 8.5 / 10
