LMAO....Disney spent $230 M just to mock you Star War dweebs, betting you would love it regardless of how BAD the product actually is (and this is that bad). I know, I know, as long as its cast more diverse? That's all that matters... (Goat scream...)

Howard dominates the screen, great actor, he carries a shotty screenplay into a decent watch. 4 stars...

Surprisingly horrific...didn't see it coming (poor Bradley Cooper-spoiler alert). You just have to watch it...oh my!

Even production of Walls biopic story of her childhood. Harrelson carries an otherwise familiar story of eccentric parents dragging their children through insecurity and instability promoting hyper achievement as adults. The cast is strong and believable, all in all a pleasant watch.

The premise is so absurd...well? It's good escapist entertainment for 98 minutes. Leto is creepy as hell (as required by the script), and admirably fulfills the role. Think of it as a Japanese passion play with a Kabuki Opera thrown in for good measure. Rating: 4 (solid) lightning bolts⚡⚡⚡⚡

I tried to like this film; I wanted to like this film...alas, too pretentious for me. The main character is stuffy, neurotic, unlikable, and? BORING...I couldn't relate to her behavior, her uneven stoicism, her quirks. The flashbacks revealed one thing-she was horribly self involved and hated her children. Not a lot to like like, candidly. I assume the screenplay adapted to film, made the writer very proud (for the life of me I don't know why). I am not against the frailty or fragility of the human spirit and the existential angst captured on film. But this mess? Two hours of my life that will never return. The next time I need to be lectured by characters or films like this? I'll grab a fifth of bourbon and visit with Bukowski. At least there will be a brawl or two and blood.

I really, really wanted to LOVE this movie...but? I just ended up liking it...Marisa Tomei was outstanding, typical chops by her. At had great "moments"...that is the issue, moments. Sub plots diverged and ended up taking away from the main storyline. Worth the watch but just missed the mark. Could of, should of...but not quite.
