Review of Anna (2019) by Lamontraymond — 27 Jun 2019

The critics entirely missed the boat on this movie. It's fun, it's thrilling, it's sexy, and it's never (for a second) boring. Of course, there are moments when you think, "what the hell??", but it's in a fun way.

It seems like the critics - especially the guy from the LA Times - are loving this movie, but they're panning it because the director has been caught up in #MeToo issues. Those may be legitimately problematic issues, but they shouldn't affect how you think about the film which involved myriad actors, crew members, etc - none of whom had to do with alleged actions by the director.

The critics should see the movie and judge it by the "four corners" of the work. If not, we'll have to back and re-score all of those Hitchcock films, etc, etc. Bottom line - this is a fun film - one of the most entertaining flicks of the summer.

And if this is the most underrated film this season, Rocketman is the most overrated - probably for the same reason. Everyone (including me) loves Elton John, but that treatment is just flat out boring.
