Quality writing.

Had a good chance of being terrible, if not for Crowe’s performance.

Absurd throughout, but Johansson makes a meal out of it, and it’s never boring.

Interesting yet shallow survey of some renowned minds.

Sweet and benign.

Like Hitchcock’s “Lifeboat”, except with the unsatisfied wish that every character die immediately. Also fish puppets.

There are some editing holes that I’m sure the book fills with pages of exposition, but otherwise the psychological and sociological investigations included are a respite from similar fare that usually omits their consideration.

So, in the end times, will movies like this stop being made? Just weighing my options. Ripe for riffing and drinking-game worthy (+20%), I defer to Christy Lemire’s better review.

Really creative.

Tour de force. Holds up well over time.
