🎙️ EPISODE 224: 12.31.19 *Review starts @ ~ 6:40
A set of intriguing ideas bundled in the form of a Western, with more than capable actors that, unfortunately, just cannot find its footing tonally. The bleak climax is upended by earlier (failed) attempts at humor, and any poetic resonance from its myriad themes never come to pass. Perhaps some of this is due to it being noted French director Jacques Audiard's first English language production? The Sisters Brothers still ain't a bad film, even if it fails to come together. There are moments provided by each of the big name actors in the titular leads, as well as Jake Gyllenhaal and Riz Ahmed as their good guy foils, who all do what they can with the very meh adapted screenplay. It's something of a shame, because there is a lot of interesting "highly relatable to modern times" stuff here bubbling under the surface. But, unlike the gold in that river, it's never illuminated. |
