Review of Hemingway

Hemingway (2021)
1/10
The music, the narration, all of this reeks of the 90s. (Not in a good way)
18 May 2021
Like some of Ken's other documentaries this one fell back on his tried & true style of "quaint" period music in the background whilst listening to some blowhard ramble on. It worked for the 1990s-era Civil War so why not keep going back to that well eh? This time around the documentary ferris wheel we have some people so smug - so far up their own backsides it makes me wonder how they can even breathe. It's all just so bloody tired.

Long story short: Watching with mute ON + subtitles is the way to go if you care to subject yourself to Ken Burns Hemingway's documentary.
