Los Crímenes de la Academia

Guion: 📝📝📝
Realización/interpretacion: 🎬🎬🎬
Calidad/tiempo: ⭐⭐⭐

Esta película no hace nada mal, pero tampoco destaca en ningún sentido salvo la original historia de la novela en que está basada.
Mantiene bien el tono. La fotografía es muy buena. El montaje es correcto. Todo está bien, pero nada es excelente.
Se agradece el final, que puede llegar a sorprender, y que uno de los personajes sea una figura histórica real.

Another Netflix flick met with "mixed" reviews, what's new? Well, this time I'll be on the "noice" side of the mix. I loved the scenery, the tone and the dialogues. The kind of dialogues which would likely sound pretty ridiculous with another cast, but we're into something with this. Not just with (of course) Bale, but the secondary characters and Harry Melling in particular, away from the Harry Potter cringe and into a remarkable E. A. Poe; he's really come a long way.

is a waste of time and talent (Charlotte Gainsbourg! Toby Jones! Gillian Anderson!).

There's something about Christian Bale I've never liked (I get this from some actors for usually no specific reason) but figured my love of Poe would make watching this worth my time.

I was wrong.

This is a fail, don't bother.

🎬 The Pale blue eye (🇺🇸 2022) est un film de Scott Cooper avec Christian Bale, Harry Melling, Simon McBurney, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Robert Duvall et Gillian Anderson d’après le roman (🇺🇸 2006) de Louis Bayard.

 📝 1830. Augustus Landor, un détective fatigué du monde, est engagé pour enquêter sur le meurtre d'un cadet de West Point. Il enrôle le cadet Edgar Allan Poe, pour l'aider à démêler cette affaire. Une ambiance sombre pour une enquête réussie.

Prompted by @blackbatflower micro review, I watched #ThePaleBlueEye last night with high hopes of dozing off, which failed. The film wasn't fun or mindblowing but it ticked my boxes - the dreary winter gothic atmosphere, great performances by big names in supporting roles, and probably the best #Poe embodiment since #AlteredCarbon. It was slow burn, but worth watching. Actually, I could watch and listen to #HarryMelling as Poe for hours. 🥰
