Winter's Tale (2014)
Everything belongs to a higher purpose
17 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I am willing to admit that everything belongs to a higher purpose, even if you are a secular Jew named Akiva Goldsman, so I suppose that includes the Holocaust, though I do not see the bigger picture for the suffering and refuse buy into it.

As for the film itself - well, not many words to waste: Mr Goldsman is obviously a deluded salesman, escaping the scale of tone deafness into stone deafness, yet how easily he claims for the big stones in the sky; as easily as one can buy into Will Smith being Lucifer - low, self pleased Hollywood.

This film is not even bad. I hoped for a really bad one.

But when I remember Colin's haircut in the movie, falling like a crow curtain under the chill moonlight over the front of dying redheads, then I want to believe in higher hairdressing purposes; this is certainly one of the worst movie haircuts of the last decades. If this is not a career downfall, Colin has some angel over his shoulder.
