My mini-review of MALCOLM AND MARIE.

Short version: …welp, there’s my non-genre movie of the year checked off. It was good!

I wasn’t gonna check out MALCOLM AND MARIE, and then this happened:

:stroking beard: Hating… Film Twitter, you say? By all means, go into further detail.

It’s not really about loathing Film Twitter, mind you — although I perfectly understand why so many people of that ilk HATED this movie. The same things that had me rolling on the floor with laughter are precisely the things that would have them rolling on the floor in pain. But it’s not an emotionally light film. There’s a lot of pain being used as a weapon in it. Excellent performances and a very focused narrative: I don’t know if I recommend it, but I did enjoy watching it.
