Review of Liz & Dick (2012) by Ian M — 29 Dec 2013
Well as expected this was pretty bad.The dude playing Richard Burton (Grant Bowler) wasn't terrible but Lindsay Lohan sure lived up to all the hype about her performance. At least she kinda looked like Taylor, the make up was well done as were the costumes and I enjoyed seeing some of her iconic wardrobe, hair and jewelry but jeez the OTT acting.
So horrible that at times I was laughing (her feinting spell) The scratchy Marlboro voice didn't really work for me either. Still interesting getting a peek into two past screen legends and their messy, sad, booze filled relationship.
This biopic dramatizes their tumultuous romance from the first meeting on the set of Cleopatra, through their tabloid covered affair, first and second marriage and the death of Burton. -Which was in the 80's and that was fun getting to see Lohan done up as big haired, shoulder padded 80's Liz.
