Review of The Upside (2019) by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly — 14 Jan 2019
The racial politics feel almost willfully retro, but the actors’ charisma cuts through: Forced to work strictly from the neck up, Cranston is just the right amount of gruff; Hart, aside from a deeply unnecessary catheter scene, gives a gratifyingly prickly and vulnerable performance.
Somewhere beneath this passable-enough Upside, there’s a better, sharper movie for them both.
