Post Re: Seberg
This was decent and Stewart is really great specially in the second half of the movie but overall the movie is very unconvincing both as traumatic biography or political statement against injustice towards the support of black revolution. The movie fails to focus on the central character and present a view from the trauma instead tries to present multiple perspectives which takes away focus from its central theme and makes the end weaker. The first tragedy is handled so poorly that you don't even know its impact on Seberg or reasons for its occurrence. Stewart didn't captivate me right away from the beginning but in second half she is really good. Jack O'Connell and Mackie are fine but their characters are thinly written and come-and-go as script demands. Zazie Beetz and Vince Vaughn are wasted here.
