Rosewater – 4

Let’s hope Jon Stewart keeps his day job. I was never engaged and could have walked out at any point; I did so after about 70 minutes. Gael Garcia Bernal was an odd choice to play the lead; it felt like he was a tourist, floating through. When I think of how gripping Argo was – the previous prisoner-in-Iran film – it just made this film seem even more bloodless, like it had rosewater in its veins.
