Finally a recent movie for adults that is clever, well written and isn't trying to push some agenda (although a rather odd warning about tobacco appears before the movie starts).
Beautifully shot, stylish and attractive design, a clever screenplay suprisingly funny at times (General Blessington on drawing his revolver as the carriage approaches his stately home "I'm having some problems with the staff")
The Trivia section states that Mark Ruffalo had a lot of doubts about his performance - and rightly so, he is the weakest of the cast and although trying valiantly, it would seem he just didn't have the chops to pull off this character.
Usually a 2 hours 30 minutes movie is an hour too long but really this story didn't seem to overstay its welcome.
This film reminded me of movies made in the 1970's when screenwriters and directors weren't afraid to just tell a story in whatever way they wanted.
If you want to see a funny, strange, and very enjoyable film that overshadows 90% of films from 2023/24 then this comes hightly recommended and as long as you aren't a pearl clutcher you will be very entertained.
