Agreed. This movie is so so so bad. The only part I find remotely moving is Emma Thompson re the affair. But that scene is an island in the stream.

Home Alone. It’s good but it’s not that good.

+1. Actually anything with the insufferable Robin Williams has aged very poorly indeed. This is a movie it’s defensible to like at 17, but if you cant see it for the pretentious mediocrity it is by 30, check your taste. It’s a little hard to see at first because Matt Damon is actually a pretty strong actor and kind of sort of holds it together. Dead Poets Society is similar, it’s a movie a sensitive young person can fall in love with, but is an utter train wreck in hindsight, made palatable only because Ethan Hawke is such a strong actor.
But can't those kinds of movies be good for certain times of a person's life? I think many books or movies hit differently at different ages. It doesn't make them worse because they don't hit the same at 40 as they did at 20.

Anatomy of a Fall. I enjoy courtroom dramas, and I understand this was more about the wife's character and the choices she made before and after the death, but this was so boring. The Oscar buzz is undeserved.
