Review of Away We Go (2009) by Grant S — 06 Nov 2010
I guess it had to happen sooner or later, that Sam Mendes would make a bad movie. Until now, he hasn't put a foot wrong, directing two of the greatest movies of all time - "American Beauty" and 'Revolutionary Road" - and two other great movies - "Road to Perdition" and "Jarhead".
"Away we go" is boring, pretentious crap. It is to Sam Mendes what "A Serious Man" is to the Coen Brothers, or 'Synedoche New York" is to Charlie Kaufman - that movie that was made out of pure self-indulgence, hubris and intellectual arrogance.
