There are two kinds of irksome or infuriating 2021 movies — (a) the kind that I understand and admire from a certain perspective and kind of feel sorry for (like Don’t Look Up, The Power of the Dog, The French Dispatch, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, The Many Saints of Newark, Benedetta) and (b) the kind that I want to strangle to death (like Annette, Spencer, The Matrix: Resurrections and The Green Knight).
Please name your own list of films that you feel sympathy for despite their failing to cut the mustard, and those which you’d like to stick a steak knife in.
