Chemical reaction

Red Sparrow

Crit
OK, this is one that Manohla Dargis liked but the majority of critics panned, so I had to see the reverse of the scenario for the other two recents.

And she's right again: this is good, goofy, trashy, borderline prurient stuff, with a spectacularly good cast, many of them using spectacularly bad Russian accents. (Good rant by Anthony Lane in the New Yorker about the weirdness of having foreigners speak English but with accents that label the English we're hearing as meant to be understood as the speaker's native language.)

It's no Ninotchka, or even Silk Stockings, but then what is?
