Review of Hail, Caesar! (2016) by Jazzyjay — 06 Feb 2016
This is a great movie by any measure. It's an entertainment on the surface, with startling stunts, huge sets, technical dance numbers, entertaining "bits", great music both as background and foreground, beautiful places and cinematography and characters that tie all these things together.
Attempting to disassemble any part of this juggling act in the act of judging the Movie is to miss the whole point of the movie. It is designed to work as a "meta" meta. Whether or not you agree with the espoused mature outlook and body politic hidden within the clever script and whether or not you choose to pull outward and see how actually genius the entire presentation is as a whole, you can't help but be entertained by this product of Hollywood about Hollywood using the "language" of Hollywood.
Like I said, pure genius and I left with a smile on my face.
