Sesame Street for adults; a completely vapid exploration of racism and learning to care about other cultures. For me there’s no compelling drama going on here due to the apparent lack of authenticity and predictability. The depiction of its characters feels way too exaggerated and one dimensional to take seriously, and the poor performances on top of that aren’t helping either. The directorial choices to present everything as black and white as possible leaves no room for interesting detail, nuance or depth. Instead, the dramatic oversimplification more often than not I find dumb and cringey. It looks fine but pretty dull and artless in that typical Clint Eastwood way, while the score’s forgettable. Just more proof for me that I strongly prefer Clint’s genre films over his attempts at mature dramas.
