Bad Times at the El Royale

Aight, so…this was either a really weird talent show featuring Cynthia Erivo + guests, or a hyperbolic attempt at noir that got in its own way.

Either way, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it but imma give this to you in REEL shit, Berry Gordy nomenclature: if I had to choose between a veggie Chipotle bowl, and a ticket to this film…extra cheese on that bowl, boo.

Production design and costuming were A-1. Not bad on the acting tip either.  It was just 30 minutes too long and quite strange. Creative, but I…I almost want people to watch it and discuss.

Bright side: I added Cynthia Erivo to the list of SANGERS I could listen to sing ABCs for the rest of forever and be perfectly content. So…yea, positives.
