| 02.13.15 | Internet | I think this is a movie that I admire more than enjoy. So many things about it are undeniably great: the meta casting, the technical execution of these long carefully-choreographed scenes, the super meta story, Everyone's but most notably Michael Keaton's performance, the interesting jazz drum score, the ambiguous ending... I like it all, yet a lot of the actual watching of the movie kind of bugged me. Sure there were some moments like Ed Norton's look after giving a good line reading where I was into it, but mostly it was a lot of claustrophic camerawork and interior mopiness that I was kind of distanced from. But you know... the layers of meaning in the script and the performances and make-up and carefully-constructed final scene are really remarkable... again it just didn't hit me in a visceral way. |
