The Longest Week (2014)
Written and directed
by Peter Glanz this film stars Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde and Billy
Crudup. A man that has spent his entire life living off his absent
parent's hotel fortune suddenly finds himself cut off.
This film is somewhere
between a Wes Anderson and Woody Allen film with a hint of early
Jean-Luc Godard, specifically Olivia Wilde made up like Anna Karina.
Never hitting the heights of any of the masters that it is inspired
by the plot of this film is not as bad as I have seen reviews suggest
even if the protagonist is a terrible person and the film goes beyond
being obvious about it's intent. Jason Bateman is always watchable
and does a good job here despite it not being the strongest script he
has had to work with.
2/5
