A global music sensation. A recently-slapped comedy legend. An indie “It” girl. A retired Batman. And Barbie herself. These performers are the stuff of movie marketers’ dreams, and also…
And yet, the film, bolstering more stars than in the heavens, to quote an old line — and a budget that’s upwards of $80 million — is arriving in theaters having been pulverized by the critics who have published so far and hoping to rescue its investment by overcoming the reviews to be a commercial success.
These are not the kind of rave reviews that Russell has historically enjoyed over the course of his career. In fact, the high-wire auteur’s ability to blend pathos and absurdity has led to three Academy Award nominations for hits such as “Silver Linings Playbook,” “The Fighter” and “American Hustle.” And yet, it is Russell himself, who appears to have been granted a blank check to realize his idiosyncratic vision with the lavishly produced “Amsterdam,” who may be sinking his latest feature.
Further puzzling to industry observers was “Amsterdam’s” absence from every major fall film festival, including such splashy launchpads as Venice, Telluride and Toronto. Insiders say that the film was not completed in time for Venice, where its backers felt it would garner the best reception. It opted not to appear at Toronto, believing that the gathering fell too late on the calendar to raise its profile .
