Review of LBJ (2017) by Pdw123 — 16 Nov 2017

Incredible film, but you wouldn't ever know it reading the critics, aka the national critics who seem to always want to slam rare dramatic and intriguing gems as this these days in favor of the endless stream of truly banal Kevin Smith comic sequels to infinity! Get a clue or get lost, you national reviewer studio sycophant members of the one tenth percent---ruining our American culture for us little people who need to be much more attuned to our bright points in history and films as this--instead of the banal fare like Blade Runner 2049 which you always offer up to us on your fake review platter.

And, to other critics here making the point that Reiner didn't want to bog his fine film down with the war and all that, that is totally understandable. Those folks can go see or rent the fine doc about McNamara made years ago, since it was mostly McNamara anyway, or Ken Burns has 20 hours on the war that anyone can view on PBS.

Woody's line about 'Nam tells it all anyway when he simply says there is no time in this 100 min. treatment. Finally, for those of us, and there are many, who can't afford HBO to have ever even viewed "All the Way"--or who could never have traveled to see Cranston's fine performance on Broadway---thank you very much for your fine oscar worthy film sir! You are one director who has never let us down, as many other directors have, so that deserves some due respect finally--and the cast is superb and superbly cast.
