White Noise

Nonsense of a similar level as the latest Iñarritú. This trend of a streaming giant giving an A-list director unlimited funds to film whatever he or she wants without scrutiny is becoming unbearable and needs to end, as it produces always the same: a ridiculously long, egomaniacal, unfocused mess. There are some interesting details, and the craftsmanship is good, but it doesn't hold together at all. (12/30/2022)

White Noise means nearly 140 minutes spent with incredibly annoying characters in a pastel-coloured allegorical world. What I enjoyed about it was the 5 minutes where it becomes almost a Crazy Griswold Family Vacation. After Amsterdam, another overwrought film by an overconfident filmmaker, who should have had a producer, a playwright and an editor at his back, who would have thrown out 50 minutes of dysfunctional wadding.
