A pretty consistent cast (Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx and Charlie Day deserve to be mentioned) and a good pace are not enough to save a weak script. Overall, an average product.
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
I have to admit that, being a huge fan of the screenwriter and director Emerald Fennell, my expectations for her third instalment were pretty high: this is probably one of the reasons why I didn't appreciate this (very loose) adaptation. A shoutout just for the music. The rest is out of place. Mark: 5.5 / 10
An enjoyable remake, lifting off from the appearance of the creature and with a somewhat warm ending. Very good performance by Jacob Elordi. Mark: 7 / 10
