Hail, Caesar! (2016)
Written & directed
by the Coen brothers this film stars Josh Brolin, George Clooney,
Alden Ehrenreich, Ralph Fiennes and Scarlett Johansson. In 1950s
Hollywood a studio fixer tries to keep the wheels turning despite
being surrounded by clashing eccentrics.
There is a lot to
enjoy about this film that mixes both satire of and reverence for the
days of the classic Hollywood studio system. While I do not think the
plot goes anywhere especially interesting it is always fun and
entertaining. I loved a lot of the touches that really capture both
the good and the bad of old Hollywood.
3/5
