Just watch the real interview.
"Scoop" (2024)
For those seeking a better version of the movie 'Scoop,' (2024) I recommend opting for the real interview instead. The film's most commendable aspect lies in its faithful recreation of the interview. While the acting suffices without notable accolades, the performers fulfill their roles adequately. However, my primary critique is in regard to the script and creative decisions.
The central character and Andrew's advisor lack substantial depth, leaving unanswered questions regarding the advisor's unwavering faith in the royal institution and her misinterpretation of the interview's outcome. Furthermore, the portrayal of Sam McAlister, portrayed by Billie Piper, lacks considerable character depth/motivation.
Additionally, the cinematographic choices, characterized by a distracting and ill-suited blue, "Nordic Noir" lighting, fail to captivate. The camerawork, also, lacks innovation and exudes a sense of budget constraints.
Netflix has had a tendency to resemble direct-to-DVD productions the past couple of years and this is one of them. Ultimately, while not awful , the film falls short, in that it is boring, uninteresting, and forgettable.
You want a better version of the story just watch the interview.
Rating: 4/10.
