Review of The Square (2017) by Everett — 30 Oct 2022
A very pretentious film that's supposedly skewering pretension wins the most pretentious award of all, the Palme d'Or. That just about says it all. It isn't even funny, is far too long, and except for a tinge of humanity in the main character, is all stereotype.
This is what we've come to. The Emperor's still naked, prancing around in this movie, not to mention the art world. I was so hoping for something that doesn't exemplify what it's satirizing. This is not that movie.
