Category: Comedy
run time: 2 hours 15 minutes
Manager: Noah Baumbach
Cast: Actor: Adam DriverGreta GerwigDon Cheadle

Noah Baumbach adapted Don DeLillo’s popular postmodern novel for Netflix, with an all-star cast that includes collaborator Greta Gerwig (for whom he is writing the upcoming screenplay). Barbie doll), Adam Driver and André Benjamin. This is the first time Baumbach has directed a feature-length film adaptation of someone else’s work.

Are from our review:

What irks DeLillo purists most about Baumbach’s films may be what others enjoy watching most: It’s enjoyable. It’s a messy movie that can’t find themes to understand DeLillo’s vision or the realities of his characters – especially in its bewildering final third, after The Events Matter. The aerial poison dissipates and Jack is haunted by Babette’s place in a conspiratorial potion. But it was done with wit and a contagious amusement. Baumbach swoops in to amuse and scare, often with success, and spruce up the screen with bright colors and movement. At the end, he performs a dance in the supermarket aisle that DeLillo and his pretentious characters imagine to be the modern American church. Is Baumbach still making a point or just interrupting? The latter, I suspect, and more power to him. He took Netflix’s money and ran away.

this is not Black phone’S premieres online — the Ethan Hawke-led horror first appeared on Peacock a few months ago. But with the move to Prime Video, there’s a lot more people can watch black phone The current. Whether that’s a good thing is up to you!

Are from our review:

However, beyond the inevitable sick feeling, black phone is a mess. The main problem is the performances, which range from confusing to completely remarkable. Jeremy Davies is especially bad as Finney and Gwen’s drunk father, whose stuttering and screaming aren’t considered truly pathetic or threaten. Hawke is also everywhere to read as believably terrifying: When we first see The Grabber, his face is painted white and he speaks in a high-pitched, influenced voice reminiscent again Atlantaby Teddy Perkins. Strange, isn’t it? What is he trying to signify, and how does it fit into his psychosis? It doesn’t matter – it’s the first and last time character details appear in the film.
