Review of White Noise (2022) by Brickwall_ — 01 May 2023
The stilted dialogue and unreality of everything was constantly reminding me of Cronenberg's Cosmopolis all throughout. Come to find out both movies are adaptations of books by the same author, Don DeLillo. I haven't read DeLillo's work, but he clearly has a unique style if two directors as different as Noah Baumbach and David Cronenberg wind up making such similar feeling movies out of his source material. I guess his style must work better on the page because it doesn't quite work on screen, though it is constantly interesting. The best thing to come from this is that it got us a new LCD Soundsystem song, New Body Rhumba, and it **** slaps.

This movie ended up being weirdly prophetic of the train derailment/ecological disaster in Ohio, which is where the movie was shot oddly enough.
