STOP! SCREAMING!. 7.8/10Visually stunning, thrilling, entertaining, funny and a little frustrating.
Money and sex
A very good movie. Palme d'Or Good? Not sure.Definitely not what I expected from the winner of the Palme d'Or.
Paul Weismann is really funny as NickI missed some character depth
It's basically an action/comedy flick, except it's a very good one.It's worth seeing for the performance of Mikey Madison (Ani) alone. Pretty amazing. Mark Eidelshtein (Ivan) does a great job as the spoiled kid of an oligarch.
A lot of characters are a little flat and bring just levity
Ivan's mom (Darya Ekamasova) felt a little too stereotypical.Would love to see it again with, as I've already seen it, my adjusted expectations. #39;s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival, and more.
