Review of My Blueberry Nights (2007) by Jluis_001 — 11 Dec 2022
No moviemaker is infallible, that's for sure, but even for things to go wrong for them there are levels. However, beyond how incoherent its plot seems at times, what I can't understand is how Wong Kar-wai accepted Norah Jones as the lead actress.
In a story where she shares the screen with actors like Jude Law David Strathairn Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman, she is the weakest link, and this happens in all her scenes, and that is why this turns out to be incredibly undermining for his film, because she clearly didn't have the range to lead this project.
What I can say in short accounts is that both because of its director and because the story has some plot allure, My Blueberry Nights deserves to be seen, but honestly this is the most disappointing work I've seen from this excellent filmmaker.
