Jim Gaffigan and Rhea Seehorn in Linoleum (2022)

Review by jaredd

Linoleum

4/10

Ultimately just a waste of time for me...

I do think marketing could have been better with this film, as I was hoping for some science fiction revolving around time travel or alternate realities. But no, it's not that, and I won't say more to avoid having the click the "spoilers" radio button.

So with that in mind the film is going to be a let-down if you also were expecting that.

Is the film a one or two or nine or ten?? NO, you can ignore those reviewers as that is crazy town. The film has some tender redeeming aspects but also isn't anything amazing either. I think I could have given it a six or seven if they would have left out all the slooow filler junk that pretended to be science fiction but wasn't or the overused social commentary regurgitation. You don't get points for being lazy.

Seriously, nobody cares about your sexual orientation any more. Stop trying to make everything in your life about that. Suppose I approach everyone I meet and beat them over the head with my model train hobby until they embrace the distinction between "scale" and "gauge"??? Yeah, lots of fun for everyone...

Anyway, the first third of the film was somewhat interesting, the middle third was nap time and the final third was depressing because by then there was really nothing left other than to just spell it all out for the slow folks in the audience.
