movieswithgreg Review of Bye Bye Braverman

Bye Bye Braverman (1968)

Meh, too little and too much.

[5/10 · 10 August 2021]

It's too talky. I wish it were talky in that smart, thought- provoking way.

But it's not.

I wish it were talky in that clever word-play funny way.

But it's not.

It's just talky and inconsequential and messy in its storytelling.

The odyssey trope doesn't work here.

This feels like it borrows heavily from French whimsy comedies. Without enough whimsy.
