Review of The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) by David L — 15 May 2017

The Magnificent Ambersons is an expectedly overrated film from one of the most overrated directors. The art direction and cinematography are admittedly splendid along with its attention to detail as it transports you well into its time period.

But that's about it. It was so obviously not meant to be a film material and it's a dull, gossipy soap opera filled with too many characters and a lack of any meaningful plot to it.
