Review of The King of Staten Island (2020) by Theetopbrick — 03 Jul 2020

So sad that the pandemic may have hurt this movie so much. SNL is such hot garbage I judged Davidson unfairly forgetting how young he is plus all that other tabloid nonsense. He is credited as writing or co-writing and that right there on top of his acting, the casting is near perfect - big home run in my opinion that Davidson may not be able to take a victory lap for.

Wherever the movie lags, or looses its narrative threads - overall I was extremely impressed. Bill Burr's casting and performance really brings it together in a wonderful way. I may be biased or see things in this film, due to my own experiences losing my father when I was 19, others may not.

I really enjoyed it and I came in expecting to hate it. Note: I actually had to shut it off after the first 20 mins and had to try again because I thought I knew where things were going. So glad I was wrong.

Damn, so many good performances.
