Of this lineup only super passionate about O'Connell, but I do think Jupe is good and if the film as a whole resonated with me more, I think I'd have flat out loved him. Wish Okonma was in more of his film but his scenes are definitely highlights (and I love the sheer unexpectedness of Tyler the Creator getting a review on here). Macy was fine, again, wanted more of him in it. Do not get any of the praise around Crowe at all (but I do quite hate the film so there's that).

Calvin Law said...

Also regarding O'Leary, I don't think the performance is awful, but also nothing that special that a seasoned character actor couldn't have pulled off much better. I must say I am somewhat bemused when I see people online being surprised and shocked at him being a snivelling MAGA sycophant; was that not obvious to begin with?

My request is saif Ali khan in Omkara

Luke Higham said...

John Smith: Do you consider him Lead or Supporting. I have him in my suggestions but can't decide where to put him.

Tim said...

your thoughts on the Screenplay and Direction of Weapons?

John Smith said...

I consider him supporting

So far, I’ve only seen O’Connell and Macy. Hopefully I’ll catch up before Oscar night.

Also, I’m calling it: Bob in the car with Sensei will be the clip they show when they announce Leo as a nominee.

Also with Calvin on O'Leary, not a bad performance per say though his casting felt pretty on the nose in my opinion and someone more seasoned taking the part would've been better.

O'Leary tried to run for Prime Minister here in Canada and the overwhelming response to that was "We don't need our own Trump, thanks"
