Eddie Redmayne's whispery-shouty villain turn in 'Jupiter Ascending' is bizarre, laughable, and yet completely magnetic.
The Golden Raspberry Awards, also known as the Razzies, had an easy choice for Worst Supporting Actor in 2015. That’s not to say that any one performance was notably worse than the others. When it comes to the Razzies, that’s beside the point. The main goal of the Razzies is not to showcase the worst in film, but to blindly hack at low-hanging fruit in a desperate bid for attention.
Jupiter Ascending, the Wachowskis’ earnest, ambitious, utterly ludicrous space opera, was a box office bomb upon its release. Many critics lambasted its convoluted plot and howled with laughter at its clumsy dialogue. But even then, it had its defenders; in time, a cult following developed, especially among women and LGBTQ+ sci-fi fans. Some dislike the plot but admire the Wachowskis’ creative vision, particularly the concept art and visual effects.
At first glance, Redmayne’s performance might seem like a classic case of a great actor jazzing up a paycheck gig with some attention-grabbing hamminess, but that’s not giving the Wachowskis enough credit. Jupiter Ascending is an unruly, almost incoherent movie, but it was clearly made with care and passion. The Wachowskis are one of the few big-budget genre auteurs we have left, and while not every choice they make works, even their most bizarre moments never feel like an accident.
