Review of Collateral Beauty (2016) by Dmlyxcritic — 23 Feb 2020

Grief is such a powerful plot point, but you always have to make sure to go about delivering the message in the right way. Collateral Beauty, however, did not. I guess it all came down to the casting choice.

Will Smith had the charisma of a potato, and only Helen Mirren was great. The plot holes were very visible that it's a wonder how people sat through with all of them. The story does not make sense, and sadly, no matter how much I wanted to like the film, it did not do it for me.

The cinematography was great, however.
