Dear Dictator (2018)
Written & directed
by Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse this film stars Odeya Rush, Katie
Holmes, Michael Caine and Seth Green. An American teenager becomes
the pen pal of a communist dictator.
Not great by any
stretch of the imagination this is still a fairly decent satire that
has a little bit of heart to it. Our protagonist stumbles through a
coming of age story and yes, there is a hint of Shane (1953) about
the arc of Michael Caine's character. Maybe the script could have
done with a little more polish but over all this film is not as bad
as some of the reviews I have seen seem to indicate.
3/5
