Review of Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) by Compi24 — 15 Oct 2018
In many ways, "Bad Times At The El Royale" embodies a lot of the good and bad to be found in writer/director "passion projects." There's definitely a lot to chew on throughout as an audience member, and the story itself is accompanied by a respectable amount of impressive images and performances as well.
But it's a little too self-indulgent and showy for my tastes. This usually comes about when a writer/director gets their first shot at finally making a movie that they have 100% control over the creative process for, ultimately leading to them not killing enough of their proverbial darlings for the audience's convenience.
Whether or not this is exactly what happened, it certainly feels like it.
