I'm on the high end of appreciation for it, though Stephanie Zacharek and Elena Lazic were fully on board. It's undoubtedly miscalculated, but I did appreciate that it's going for something audacious, and I connected with certain moments and performances. (Bernthal is excellent.)
In a fit of madness, I bought a ticket a couple of weeks ago to see Vengeance this coming Sunday. I'm not sure why, since something about B.J. Novak has always been like nails on a chalkboard to me. Keith, you have shaken the sense back into me. I'm canceling my ticket and going to see anything else. Maybe Sharp Stick.
Look, I didn’t love it but there’s a lot to chew on about it so I appreciate that. Also, I will be the first to praise THE BOOK WITH NO PICTURES, Novak’s story book. Five stars!
Maybe I'll go to the bookstore instead! Who knows, maybe I'll still go, though I tend to be more forgiving of the other flaws of a mystery film when the mystery element itself is strong.
Okay, I finally did see Vengeance yesterday at Alamo. I have to admit, creaky as it was in places, it kinda won me over. That’s what I get for being a snarky Novak-basher.
wow. I don't want to know any more about it, but I sure can't tell if I want to see Sharp Stick or not....

Huh, two movies whose rural protagonists have sisters who want to be Tik Tok influencers. Not sure what that says or means.
