Well, my wife and I feel old! Movies we did not like - May December, Maestro and Oppenheimer

[NewHendoLib]

For various reasons. We thought May December was simply dreadful - plot, acting - ugh.

Maestro - non stop chatter, non stop smoking - made it through 20 min (and we LOVE Leonard Bernstein)

Oppenheimer - interesting story that we couldn't hear because of the Christopher Nolan method of burying dialog in music and having the actors whisper and mumble.

Even Slow Horses, which we pretty much binged, seemed a noisy, chaotic mess much of the time.

Once again we are reminded we (in our late 60s) are no longer a target audience. Give me Howard's End, Remains of the Day, Babette's Feast, Amelie - stories told slowly, with an arc, character development and clear dialog - any day! Or Morse, Endeavour, or Inspector Lewis.

Rant over!

We are off to see if some smaller independent films are still being made that we can enjoy. we liked the Julia Roberts Dystopian one (Leave the World Behind).
