Elsinore (2026)
2.5 / 5
Amazing story with a great actor in Adam Scott, but it just fell flat for me. It reminded me of a cheesy sports drama based on a great story.
Obviously, this is much more than that, but falls into the same pitfalls: too much eulogizing of the protagonist, over editing in a way to make the stakes seem larger than life, brushing over some very important points that don’t really fit the narrative arc.
Idk, I thought it was good, but I think it would be hard to do any less with such a strong story. Spent too much effort trying to make us care instead of realizing if they just played it straight, we would’ve cared even more.
