Review of Taurus (2022) by Trevorsivils — 29 Nov 2022

Mgk/Colson Baker shows off his acting skills while simultaneously being able to relate much to the film which often helps.

Not necessarily a movie for those who don't like to feel uncomfortable though as this movie delves into dark topics but in a not so black and white way.

I appreciate that subtlety though as you see the characters who are actively enabling the bad sides of the main character ,cole(mgk), still express care for him in their own way and thats a fact I can appreciate instead of making good characters all good and bad characters all bad. And cole at his worst sometimes doesn't even know how much of an jerk he's being and some may be uncomfortable telling him while others try to with the intent to help.

Cole is a character who you simultaneously hate, feel bad for, and root for, which why this movie is uncomfortable is the best ways. It challenges you to look past a hard and abrasive exterior and see the heart of someone who is struggling. But at the end of the day it's hard to help someone who won't help themselves or let you help.

It's also a look at the darker side of an industry that is supposed to being happiness and entertainment.
