A24’s Opus review: a stylish symphony of half-baked ideas

Opusand The new A24 movie From the writer / director Mark Anthony Green, he has a lot to say about the symbiotic relationship (and sometimes parasitic) between entertainment and celebrity journalists. In the film’s story about the faltering of the correspondents themselves just because they are close to the eccentric icon, you can feel the reflection on how the media scene changes with the upscenment of modern content -based content empires. a lot Opus‘Ideas are right in money, and the film is so elegant that it is easy to get its shelf in a visual splendor. But regardless of his excellent original songs, the film often appears to be a flimsy reformulation of the fish features that appeared before it.
Though Opus It is fictional, green – previous style editor in Gq Many of his personal experiences were clearly poured into the unprocessed music journalist Ariel Oton (Ayo Iow Iwiberi). Concilious, Ariel loves her job that covers a pop culture and the way it gives opportunities to research the lives of well -known artists. But she also knows that regardless of the strength of her stadiums, her Self -Stan (Murray Bartlet) will not think twice to drop it, move it to another person, or simply take it to himself.
Like anyone else in the world knows “Dina, Simon“In the heart, Ariel can only feel a little enthusiasm when she holds the winds that is the isolated star Alfred Moretti (John Malikovic) to release new music for the first time in decades. When Solidad Yoseer (Tony Hill), Moretti manager, confirms on rumors through a video on YouTube, Ariel knows that someone in her post will be invited to one of the parties The usual listening – and very exclusive – is very exclusive in its distant desert vehicle.
To the Stan host and host of talk shows Clara Armstrong (Juliet Lewis), Moretti’s meetings are excuses for Schmooze and enhance the idea that they are celebrities instead of people who have access to the rich and celebrities. For Ariel, though, the invitation appears to be a long opportunity to use her talents at the end, which is why she takes it upon her to already read some of the literature that Moreti sent all of them as preparation for their meeting.
Especially once everything Opus“Various journalistic personalities together on a bus, you can hear the green comment on how to shift the appearance and appearance of the recreational press with the appearance of new means and transcended characters such as the addictive effect on the Emily phone (Stephanie Soganami).
Opus Ariel-who has played with specific energy by EDEBIRI-is presented as a woman whose commitment to press the basics of journalism is sharply contrary to her fame. Writing a really convincing story about Moreti is not all that Ariel wants. She also has aspirations to become famous for her work, which seems to be a rhythm aimed at emphasizing how to push correspondents of all kinds Think and market themselves as trademarks. But this is because Ariel is very devoted to monitoring its citizens instead of not fading it as near them, to the point that it is able to pick up the concern about the luxurious Moretti drug when they all reach the first time.
Though Opus“The opening work is full of promise, the film abandons any excuse of accuracy with its progress. This is one of the biggest reasons for the start of feeling more and more of a project that runs with CoratTails from other modern excitement about people wandering enthusiastically in dangerous situations such as Way twiceand MenuAnd Call. You do not need a background in investigative journalism to capture how something is around Moretti George (Peter Death), who teaches music for many children who live on the complex, or the beautiful (who is from Amber Amber very), one of the minds assigned to follow journalists all over the night and today.
Opus He tends to be strange about Moreti early so that no real feeling of ambiguity or suspense can be created. It has a side effect to make all correspondents, regardless of Ariel, looks intense in the near future. But the film managed to become a fast for a moment as soon as Moretti puts himself on the screen and gives you a taste for what he became famous for.
Although the quiet performance of Malkovich is like the Sphinx like MORTTI is good, but when he embodies the character of rock music on the stage and playing songs written by the Nile Rodgers and Draiga Opus Electricity feels completely. Between excellent songs and flawless fashion design for Corlie Corata, Moretti reads like a mixture of David Boy and Amir with a well -thrown Lady Gaga collection. This atmosphere is almost enough to make you understand why Ariel’s group is unable to overcome in his presence.
But this talisman is difficult Opus To maintain that her story begins to drop the predictive transformations that are caring for more than one mile. Despite its promising start, Opus It ends up with anxiety more than the style of the material, and the same does not know exactly any of its points – many of which are solid – she wants to let you think. It is especially disappointing because it is easy to imagine that the project is working more effectively with some control. But it may be attributed to an audio clip, and the scene of Malcolic in his head is twice the length of his body, enough to keep you kept when Opus The theaters strike on March 14.
