Hank Bauer’s review published on Letterboxd:
This film is beautiful presentation-wise, and it’s extremely witty, but it started to lose me about half way through from a lack of personal interest. This isn’t to say this film isn’t worth your time, that’s far from the truth. It’s just that aside from its interesting LBGT subject matter, and the story of an old mans rich career, the pacing that this film was equipped with proved to be the most detrimental.
But hey, at least it’s fun to see a pattern in themes this year of old directors making films about being old, relishing in your past career achievements, and how they live with themselves afterwards (The Irishman, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, etc.) Solid 6!
