Review of American Pastoral (2016) by Scott H — 06 Nov 2016
An awful movie that starts off with an unnecessary narrator and slowly introduces a plethora of deplorable characters who garner no sympathy as its mildly interesting plot boringly progresses. The dialogue is horrendous and each character ends up becoming a caricature, inducing a ton of eye rolls and and head scratches as to why first-time director Ewan McGregor chose to film things in certain ways.
The acting is somewhat decent, but it becomes so boring and so laughably ludicrous that it's commentary - an otherwise interesting one - misses its mark.
