Rating: 2.5/5
Kieran Culkin carries this graceless, self-important movie over the finish line — not with a character, but with a messy but charismatic foil to whatever the scene needs.
The film mines Majdanek and a Holocaust tour for moments of emotional resonance amid the humor, but it’s all background fodder for Culkin’s performance.
The performances are stellar, the non-stop Chopin score drove me up the wall, and the story is one we’ve seen too many times for Eisenberg to bring so little to the table.
