Are cinemas selling you their own “Trojan horse”?
Harry Varvaressos
… an invigorating biopic tempered with tropes, honouring an iconoclast whose roguish charm embodied something elementally human.
Pálmason’s film holds us ever so tenderly. But its grasp can’t be gentle without also being tenuous.
… things go from raw and nasty to just plain silly – not to mention alienatingly unpleasant.
… initially inviting, rather pleasant as you sink into place, and yet increasingly – unmistakably – fetid.
Like a warm hug from an overly familiar uncle, I See Buildings is not always elegant, but its heart is firmly – joyously – right where it ought to be.
