'The Beanie Bubble' Review: Elizabeth Banks Carries Conventional Biopic
This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.The so-called year of the "brand" movie continues and after the varying successes of films like Air, BlackBerry, Flamin' Hot, and Tetris, we now have The Beanie Bubble.
Despite his energetic and almost childlike demeanor, we're quick to learn that Warner is, to put it lightly, a prick. He's constantly belittling Robbie and Maya while also taking advantage of Shelia and her daughters to become a billionaire. As the film progresses, we see how the Beanie Baby sensation affects our four leads, both financially and mentally, all with the looming threat that the financial bubble they're in is bound to pop at any moment.
Snook leaves the biggest impression as Shelia, who unlike Banks and Viswanathan, is playing completely against type. She's not some business-savvy idealist like Shiv Roy, but instead is presented as a woman who's been dealt a bad hand in her love life and is now solely focused on doing what's right for her daughters. That is, of course, until Warner comes in.
'The Beanie Bubble' Plays It Too Safe and Conventional There have been plenty of films that have found success in telling their stories out-of-order , but the structure here just feels repetitive, tedious, and lacks any sense of focus.
