Review of The Pale Blue Eye (2022) by Unclewillard — 06 Jan 2023
Strong performances, excellent production values, and even Poe himself can't save this thriller from the weight of its pretentions. Okay, even the performances were okay. Bale as always is exemplary, but he's the only standout.
Gillian Anderson was cartoonish and Melling, while somewhat charming, came off like Lt. Barkley foiling his antagonizers in a holodeck play. Lot of very talented, veteran actors sorely underutilized in a mediocre, and at parts goofy plot.
I can't really recommend it outside of Bale and the production values.
