Hail, Caesar! (2016)

Hail, Caesar-It has its moments but it could have been much better than it is

[25 February 2018]

Hail, Caesar tells the story of a Hollywood fixer who solves every problem related to the production of movies in a studio. Hail Caesar is an obvious love letter to the big old Hollywood movies, from a technical standpoint the movie is great, the production design on the interior of the movie sets is very detailed and elegant with vivid colors as well as the costumes, the 1950´s aesthetic is very well created too. The cast is great except for some actors who didn´t have many screen time and only made a cameo, and there´s also great scenes here, the Alden Ehrenreich scene were he can not say the line, the Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum dance sequences are just an example.However the script its a mess, it falls five different storylines without focusing exactly in one, the editing could also been improved, some scenes felt like they were cut out and just put there, and by the end end of the movie some characters didn´t have a conclusion and the ones who did felt rushed. Hail Caesar does have its moments but not enough of them, and the script doesn´t really help.

6.7/10
