Review of American Pastoral (2016) by Gabriel L — 06 Jun 2017

While McGregor's ability as a director shines, as well as the performances and gorgeous cinematography, everything else simply feels manufactured, lifeless, and just plain boring. Even though I found the characters interesting and was intrigued about how the story would play out, the screenplay takes some twists and turns that were either unnecessary or that didn't feel like proper payoffs to what had been previously set up in a 2 hour + movie.
