You may not make it to the end of this, because if you are smarter than me you will abandon it after the first 10 or 15 minutes. I thought about doing just that, but by watching it a little bit at a time, I made it to the end. This has the trademark flimsiness of almost everything Noah Baumbach has ever done, and there is no evidence whatsoever of the occasionally intelligent work of Greta Gerwig. Generically dumb in almost every way. A combo of musical dance numbers, cartoonish performances, garish set pieces, horrible music, and terrible writing. It could be entertaining if you haven't seen this level of tragically vacuous Hollywood nonsense 1000 times before, but you have. Enough has been said about the hamfisted messaging and blatant commerciality. But, it did what it was intended to do, put people in seats and make over a billion dollars spoonfeeding more idiocy into our culture. It is a glittering, thoroughly contrived and self aware mess, with enough ironic melodrama to seem partially humorous, and enough spinning, moving parts to thoroughly transfix a tragically dumbed down target audience. The story and dialogue is all paint-by-numbers nonsense. It's like they had a checklist of over the top movie tropes and trendy gender related topics and just went down the list making sure they didn't miss any boxes. It's too bad making any kind of new or unique artistic statement was not on that list. Big money was spent and made on this sweepingly empty spectacle, and that is sadly its only apparent significance.
