Film: The Secrets in Their Eyes (2015)

This remake reminds of the scenes in the tv show Barry where Henry Winkler's acting class perform scenes of great movies...except it's an entire film with Nicole Kidman, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Julia Roberts doing the cheap imitation.

It's remarkable how nearly every choice in this film is wrong. The filmmakers pay ode to a ton of minor meaningless details from the original and take a hacksaw to the essential parts. No-joke, this is like George Costanza doing the opposite of what a good filmmaker would do. 

This might be my #1 most-hated film of all time because of how much I like the original. It's like the defacing of a great painting. I cannot fathom why anyone involved did this...did they understand the original film? Did they watch it? It feels like a bad high school student watched the original and decided to rewrite the entire thing set in America.

I need not go on.
