The biggest hype surrounds this depressing movie, many are afraid to speak their mind because they think they "have" to like it to feel smart as much as hyper on the other side. It's not the only case, "Everything, everywhere ecc ecc" it's another one. On tv you have Severance or Yellowstone. In the age of social media it's everyday bigger the need to "fit in" with the rest of the flock, so many pinch their nose and walk through the stench. So we have this hugely hyped, and awarded, movie that we must like. I really wanted to do it. Then I found the detective from Mr Mercedes doing the same part minus the badge, Farrell completely miscasted reminding me of a Joey Tribiani without his sandwich jokes, and the rest bleak and depressing as they come. I am sure that is what that director wanted to achieve, and hey, mission brilliantly accomplished. Gleason cuts his hand without any reason and it's never explained. The whole movie it's just a waste of time. Maybe there is a message that not Irish people can't receive, it might be. I loved these guys in the other movie that made together, "In Bruges", but here there is nothing of that magic. It is a small movie that without the hype and watched in a little essay cinema might have a sense and a place. With the the trumpets and and the lights of Golden Globes much, much less.
