Review of Best Sellers

Best Sellers (2021)
7/10
8 stars for the terrific acting performance by Michael Caine, but only 7 stars for a less than great direction...
5 October 2021
The good: Michael Caine, Michael Caine, Michael Caine.

Any bad? Lacking in greatness in direction.

Still recomended for all those fans of Michael Caine (and of Aubrey Plaza).

The story: it's a slowburning tale about a young woman (Aubrey Plaza) who needs an old guy like Michael Caine to publish another book, in order not to go bankrupt with her book publishing company.

The chemistry between Caine and Plaza is admirable. With a bit more tight knit direction this movie could have risen to greater highs, but as it is now, it is definitely a funny and lovely lighthearted buddy drama about 2 persons slowly growing fond of each other...

Does really deserve more attention then the mere 30 Imdb reviews, because this is quite an intimate gem!
