Review of Stan & Ollie (2018) by Keithdow — 29 Jan 2019

The most notable aspect of ‘Stan & Ollie’ is the performances of Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly, who play the titular roles of the legendary comedic duo. Viewers can spend a fair amount of time after watching the film debating who deserves greater acclaim for bringing their respective parts to life—and neither side would be right or wrong, as either stance would be purely a matter of subjective opinion and both have received their fair share of award nominations.

Otherwise, taken in its entirety, ‘Stan & Ollie’ is a bit too pedestrian to garner any sort of effusive praise, and despite a fairly compelling third act, the end result is largely forgettable.
