Hemingway (2021)
4/10
Salacious twaddle, no substance
6 May 2021
It doesnt help that I never rated "Ernesto" personally or as a writer, (and I used to read everybody and then some). I liked Death in the Afternoon, but thats about it.

Hemingway should have stayed a journalist, he was very good at it.

If Kenny Burns cant parse the person and writings, from the tawd and gossip then he should stop these garish documentaries. I want to know what drove these people, Burns ignores those questions.

How about other much more deserving American writers like Ray Carver, or. Edna St Vincent Millay. Or Steinbeck or Arthur Miller.

Hemingway was all publicist, tabloid , and 3rd rate studied grandiosity.
