I Have a Headache
15 August 2023
Sorry, I cannot drink the Kool-aid. 66 minutes of screaming, over the top "drama" was borderline unwatchable. Look, I get it. I recognized the intent immediately. If you're awarding points because nobody ever portrays dysfunctional families this way, whatever. But it reminded me of Uncut Gems, and affected me the same way. IMO, its frenetic, not clever. Its chaotic, and not terribly realistic. There's a reason why you Don't see much content presented this way. Its annoying. I thought JLC was terrible. Was that some master class in acting? Hardly. Bernthal v Odenkirk was very good. Sorry, I gave it a 4, but only for stretching boundaries. Too clever by half.
