Hail, Caesar! (2016)
6/10
Funny pastiche of bygone Hollywood
26 April 2020
One scene in particular (saiors in a bar) is brilliant and recreates the atmosphere of old Hollywood musicals to much better effect than the over-hyped LaLa Land. Shows you can't rely on ratings and that there's a lot of follow the herd mentality.

Lots of the script is really beautifully balanced. Also Ralph Fiennes is fantastic.

The storyline is not particularly strong, but I don't think this matters. Really it;s a sort of loosely connected set of vignettes, lots of which are really well crafted and funny.
