Review of Barracuda (2017) by Ratedrex — 18 Dec 2016
There used to be a time when movie critics were tough. I don't how many of you are old enough to remember Pauline Kael of the New Yorker, Vincent Canby on the New York Times, Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune, and of course, my favorite, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times.
In those days, you couldn't just pop out a cute little movie and expect the critics to rave, uncontrollably. Those critics would dissect every fabric and every film cell. When they were done with their reviews you knew, pretty much, what to expect.
But not anymore, cutesy movies like "The Artist", "Birdman" and "Silver Lining Playbook" and the like, are given way more credit than they deserve by today's movie critics.
In fact, I think todays movie critics go overboard for anything that is just a little bit different. Well, "La La Land" is a little bit different. But its just a cutesy little movie that's nice and neat.
That's all it is. All of the glowing praise by the critics is laughable.
