Well, guess what? HE loves the idea of sitting through a two-and-a half-hour Oscar bait flick from that electric season of George Bush-vs.-Michael Dukakis-vs.-Willie Horton-vs.Lee Atwater. I really like “competent and watchable”!!
And yet Sony Pictures Classics, the film’s distributor, has been playing a little bit of “hide the ball” as far as screenings and streaming access is concerned. We all know what that means.
Ironic “Nuremberg” Nudge to MAGA Slowboats: “You can reclaim your former glory.”
From Owen Gleiberman’s 9.7 review: “Written and directed by James Vanderbilt, Nuremberg presents itself as lavishly somber and important and includes several not-so-veiled references to the rise of intolerance, and the need to maintain international standards of justice, in the world today.
“But competent and watchable as it is, Nuremberg isn’t big on psychological tension or insight. As Herman Goring, Russell Crowe acts with consummate command even as Göring, by design, keeps the audience at arm’s length. But Rami Malek‘s Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Kelley brings a weird insecurity; along the way, his Kelley almost seems to forget what his job is.”
I distinctly recall being taught in my teens that the central character’s last name was spelled Goering. (The Wiki page confirms this.) So what is this “Goring” shit?
