In terms of cast, it has to be said that Gary Oldman looks nothing like Herman Mankiewicz. The olde visuals seem to be the main reason to watch this film, and its this smokey, shadowy, cigarette-burnt, ’40s aesthetic that’s the film’s only positive. The fact that a film about a writer (which intermittently includes script elements) isn’t particularly well written is ironic to say the least. This is basically another love letter to Hollywood’s “great” past like Quentin Tarantino‘s similarly critically overrated shite-fest OUATIH. It's a black and white ode to a period of time that only a select few give a toss about; it’s made for film students, cinephiles, and pompous critics.

导演是个温柔的人，至少这部片子表达出来的气息是这样的，即使是黑帮老大身上也有这种温柔的气息，白嫩初高生无套呻吟粉嫩流白浆最后大发神威将黑帮分子一战清袋也是没谁了，女主很像权游的瑟曦啊

这种本子2017年以后还不是一抓一大把了？

昨天看完纪录片之后就一直心情复杂，有很长一段时间都觉得胸中有一股浊气被压抑着...中间有一些细节真的让人哂笑。真的觉得好无奈啊，白嫩初高生无套呻吟粉嫩流白浆这个社会多不堪，它好像已经千疮百孔了。想抱一抱那个阿姨，告诉她她的身后真的是有万家灯火在给予她力量 愿每身孤独都能拥抱共鸣，希望阿姨的一切都能慢慢变好！

很不芬奇，又很芬奇的一部
