(Insert Jewish greeting)

Next Up: The Hunt
Then: Blue Ruin

Movie Review: Fading Gigolo

Pros:
This felt like a woody Allen movie all the way through. Not just because of woody Allen, basically playing woody Allen. It was fun and intelligent throughout with enough unexpected twists In there to throw me at times.

John turturro was good as, um, honestly I don't know his real name, Virgil? Yeah. He was fun to watch as Virgil, I liked the fact that he wasn't all gung-Ho about being a gigolo, most American movies would be all about making it cool to have sex with gorgeous ladies. 

The movie took a very unexpected turn when they introduced the Jews. Seriously, is this festival obsessed with Jews and affairs? Im not complaining but jeez you'd thing Jews like affairs. And money.

Cons:
Not a whole lot of cons in this one. The subject matter isn't for everyone but that's ok. 

My only other gripe is it's a bit slow and plodding through the last act, but has a more satisfying conclusion than black coal.

FINAL VERDICT: 85


Now to see the Hunt!
