Super talented triple threat
Didn’t really love this one to be honest. Bale and Adams give brilliant performances, but it just doesn’t lend itself well to a comedy. Rockwell is fine but his nomination just feels like it’s padding out the category.
There’s only one rather funny moment just before the halfway mark, but I don’t want to spoil it. Otherwise the choice to have Jesse Plemons narrate the thing before finally explaining his relation to the story at the end ultimately didn’t work. All of the events are just too recent to look back on in this way. I really liked The Big Short, but that was far more informative.
5/10
