Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) by Katie Walsh for Los Angeles Times — 13 Apr 2022
It feels like a bad parody, a shadow of what a film is, not an actual film itself. The color palette is a dreary mud puddle of grays and browns, and there’s no sense of space or geography. It has no weight, no heft, no texture, no color, no sense of magic or wonder in the least.
The story itself has no sense of stakes or resonance, and the actors vary in affect from lifeless to dutiful to pained.
