JAY KELLY
I'm certain it's intentional but Noah Baumbach's look at celebrity with George Clooney and Adam Sandler feels like the wrong sort of fake. Filled with slick scenes and dialog that never feels real this feels more like an inflated theater piece where the arch dialog would work. For me it's fake people wandering around wondering why they live in a fake world. I am not a Baumbach fan but I can't believe that even he turned out something this superficial.
IT'S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY
This portrait of the late singer songwriter did something I didn't think possible, it made me like him less. Stylistically told its more form over content. I was watching what it was doing more than what it was saying. I have Buckley albums, but to me too much of the music choices feel of a type and not quite as expansive as I would have liked. Any film that made me dislike Hallelujah is not to be trusted
