Review of Listen Up Philip (2014) by Tanmart S — 01 Sep 2015
Jason Schwartzman plays the title character too well, you quite legitimately want to strangle the son of a bitch that is the title character. The film's bleak, rather dreary, atmosphere is suffocating. The filmmakers' stylistic choice of cinematography and editing is clearly from Woody Allen's 'Husbands and Wives'.
Jonathan Pryce and Elisabeth Moss are good in their roles but ultimately all their characters are unsympathetic. There's not much of a story arc for Schwartzman either. I liked the jazz quintet score though.
