Review of The Lost City of Z (2017) by Zedzded — 19 Jul 2017

Can a movie just be a movie anymore? Do writers and directors feel obliged to have to shoehorn a narrative about contemporary societal issues into every story? It's an interesting story to start with. Did we need to be hammered over the head with a feminist lecture about equality of the sexes (which I'm all for, by the way)? Tiresome, as if any misogynist was suddenly going to have an epiphany watching this heavy handed schtick anyway.

Also the lead actor's diction is painful and he's got the charisma of a wet sock.
