The Day Shall Come

Autecher

The new Chris Morris film. It had it's world premiere at SXSW this week. It seems to be getting 3-4 star reviews from critics but has (surprise surprise) offended some Twitter users for being racist. I was a bit disappointed with Four Lions but that's probably because I was expecting too much, I will watch this with lower expectations. There are no trailers yet so here are some reviews though I haven't read them myself for fear of spoilers.

4 Lions was brilliant but probably not a feature movie, more of a continuation of Morris version of satire.

The laugh out loud moments in his stuff are never quite proper gags ie the bleach scene

I watched it again after I made this thread and liked more than I did in the cinema. Four Lions isn't really a cinema movie, for me at least. I'll probably feel the same when I see this one.

yeah probably right I dont think his stuff is Movie/Cinema type stuff but by going to see it in the cinema I support Morris making more of anything really

Hande hoche!

Will make the effort to catch this in the cinema. Similar rationale as above.

Really interesting interview with Chris Morris on his new film and the role of satire.

I finally caught this last night at the cinema, and while it was enjoyable I was mildly disappointed with it - mainly because it feels a bit like 2 different films mushed together, with a tone that doesn't quite work. The inter-agency pissing match dialogue is generally very funny in a The Thick Of It sort of way, but that meshes poorly with Moses' story (which is basically mentally-ill-black-man-gets-stitched-up). I suspect it's partly because, given the USA context of the film, Morris probably couldn't just make a film that had as purely a British sensibility as Four Lions.

As with others in this thread I'm glad I caught it because Morris is an excellent satirist, but I think this will be viewed as a minor work. Ah well, here's to the next one.
