Review of Tolkien (2019) by Mauro_Lanari — 11 Oct 2019
(Mauro Lanari).
Is it a more didascalic than didactic biopic, like reading a Wikipedia article about the author? Was it right to tell the story of the founder of modern fantasy by using and abusing his style that replaces many biographical truths? Regardless, the film seems to have been shot more for Tolkien's fame than for the objective interest of the young writer's life, in fact quite conventionally Dickensian. Mistreated by critics and audiences for this shareable reason.
