Dueling Critics

thumbs-up

“The key thing is that ‘Resurrections’ is enjoyable in its impenetrability. In every scene — not at every moment, but in every scene without fail — there’s some wildly imaginative touch, some odd creation, some strange action that you would never expect to see.”
thumbs-up

“[A] descent not so much into Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s ever-fascinating dystopian reality as our own madness…aimless, vocabulary-filled, talky tedium…The fourth flick looks dollar-store cheap and during the battles, you’ll wish you were watching ‘John Wick’ instead.”
