If it’s so hard to get a biopic right, why try at all? The obvious answer is a cynical one: Biopics are perennial awards favorites and often an actor’s best bet to secure an Oscar.
For every punch, explosion, and chase we see on screen, we don’t see the months of prep that go into them—never mind the years of professional experience and practice that allow stunt performers to operate at such a high level.
It might seem odd that a rating system that has become synonymous with sex and violence was brought about by a movie that’s essentially just four people talking.
Whatever happens on Sunday, I hope you will join us at the Triplex to watch it with your fellow movie lovers. We recommend you come early to enjoy pizza from Roberto’s and take your photo with an actual Oscar on loan from our friends at Scout House.
