jigae Review of Mid-Century

Mid-Century (2022)

One of the worst movies of the century

[1/10 · 30 June 2022]

This movie was terrible. It often wasn't clear what was going on and as others have said, good actors gave some terrible performances, which speaks to the writing and directing.

The film really intensely misunderstands architecture. It's also a movie that tries to center female characters, but was written by a man and lacks insight. It arguably also fails the Bechdel Test.

You get a sense of what it was trying for, but it doesn't remotely achieve it.
