Review of Amsterdam

Amsterdam (2022)
2/10
A complete misfire
7 August 2023
This movie is in a category, for me, created by Fantastic Beasts.

Pretty to look at, good or great actors, interesting (on paper) plot and a total mess in the execution.

The director was going for the bizzare/looney take, he ended up with a parody that does disservice to the story. Actors are laughing on irrelevant moments, stone faced on dramatic moments. We are constantly told about the "great love" of 2 of the 3 main characters and it is the most lifeless romance I have ever witnessed on the big screen. Their love consists of two pathetic kisses that seemed to me like very awkward and forced. Zero chemistry. Just going for the diversity angle.

Many viewers compare this with art, well it is true, sometimes art is truly bad..
