Review of White Noise (2022) by Capnron — 25 Jan 2023

White Noise. Overly intellectualized postmodern romp in middle America. Cheadle and Driver are absolutely outstanding. But the postmodern classic book simply doesn’t translate to the screen. I feel bad for Driver, he probably should have gotten a best actor nom, but you can’t see past the movie itself.

Rampant consumerism, media saturation, novelty academic intellectualism, underground conspiracies, the disintegration and reintegration of the family, human-made disasters, and the potentially regenerative nature of violence is just too much for 2 hours and 16 minutes.
