The good old days, and a serious Jim Carrey: A review of 'The Grand'

Several reasons for loving this film:

1. Quite nostalgic, the simple folk customs of the town, the characters' costumes and hairstyles are all restored quite successfully. The luminosity chosen for photography is just right. The pacing of the narrative is not slow either. In short, everything allows you to immerse yourself in it, and you don't feel that 152 minutes is too long.

2. The story is very heartwarming, with family, love, and belief in freedom, democracy, and patriotism.

3. Outstanding performance by the supporting cast. Although Jim Carrey worked very hard to play the main role and tried not to use his flexible and developed facial muscles, he was still reminiscent of the many comedy characters he had created, and frankly speaking, his performance was still is lacking.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10

    The so-called democracy, the so-called human rights, the so-called Jim Carrey's best film, in fact, was well done, and I watched the Mandarin version again.

    This kind of pipeline theme movie should not have such a high score! The effect of the final court speech was mediocre. I couldn't bear the slow rhythm of Brother Darabont, but I decided to give three points to the main theme of the domestic production, because they dared to admit their mistakes and dared to face the former McCarthy!
