Dull, dull, dull, dull, dull. And indulgent. Stop putting actors on awards shortlists because they got made up to look old.
Wasted two hours and 17 minutes of my life on that film and don't want to waste much more. It's getting (2 stars) 30% from me only because the acting was good, I liked what Naomi Watt's wore and Armie Hammer has nice eyes.
I'm blaming the Guardian 50 film list challenge for putting me through this one and they didn't like it either with Peter Bradshaw also giving it 2 stars and commenting:
Clint Eastwood's biopic of J Edgar Hoover never gets to grips with the FBI founder's sexuality, or his impact on American life
Over on IMDb its got a surprising 71% with a Metacritic score of 59% while on Rotten Tomatoes it's got 44% from critics while 52% of audience members give it 3.5 stars or more.
