John Malkovich: Just Call Me God (A Dictator's Final Speech)(2017) -
My first reaction to this work was that I hoped the organ music sounded better in the actual theatre, because it sounded awful on TV.
And then just like that I thought Wow, because I couldn't believe how quickly I decided that I couldn't watch any more of it. I had expected it to be slightly odd, because and I mean no offence to him, but John Malkovich has always played some quirky interesting characters, but this was childish, silly and his dictator character was sooo angry it was almost uncomfortable to watch.
Perhaps if I'd put up with it longer I would have been surprised by some fantastic ending, but I prefer my films, TV programmes and stage plays to keep me entertained all the way through, not just at the end.
Unscored as Unfinished.
