Review of Ted K (2021) by Tommonday — 22 Aug 2022
With all the revolutionary material written by Kaczinski himself, it’s disappointing that the movie focusses on Ted as a lonely broke incel – instead of a harbinger of the planet’s current technological and environmental apocalypse who just chose the wrong delivery method for his message.
Copley is committed to the part, but it’s a lot of sweating and grunting for a film that has no perspective to tell this story. The narrative chooses monologues and montages, when there are plenty of scenes from Ted K’s actual life which would make great dialogues full of conflict.
Lots of ambient music and spectacular nature photography can’t mask the picture’s hollow core. Ironically, it’s that kind of sonorous movie that makes you want to look at your phone.
