Review of Café Society (2016) by Dawdlingpoet — 25 Nov 2021

This is an easy watch, with a nice, light, jolly touch to it. It has easy listening/jazz type music played in the background and its quite stylish, with heavy use of orange and yellow colours in the lighting. I liked the character Bobby, played by Jesse Eisenberg - Jesse is an ideal person to play the role as Bobby is clearly a quite awkward person, a fish out of the water type (he usually plays such roles). I thought it was a nice watch, although the ocassional narration was a bit distracting and perhaps not entirely necessary.

There is an element of cheese about it but its by no means a bad watch, especially if your keen on the cast (Eisenberg aside, Kristen Stewart and Steve Carrel also star in this film). Its not greatly memorable but its a solid enough watch I thought was quite good and I'd recommend it regardless.
