“…but adding an overbearingly loud satirical score, doesnu0026#39;t make this a satirical dark comedy. For that matter, where was the comedy?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film wouldu0026#39;ve showed better and captivated the audience by making it a drama, with a proper score, faster pacing, with elevated personalities and dialogue, instead of drab and monotonic characters. Jackman and Janney were the only reason I didnu0026#39;t fall asleep, and their outstanding performances is the majority of my rating. Poor judgement on the screenplayu0026#39;s genre choice, but decent directing and cinematography. A generous 7/10 from me.”
