Seberg – 6.5

There’s a lot of Kristen Stewart in this film, which is a pretty good thing, as well as a reminder that the U.S. Department of Justice has suffered from a political agenda in the past. The movie is based on a true story, which is its only reason – besides showcasing Stewart – for existing. If we didn’t know who Jean Seberg was, or how J. Edgar Hoover was using the FBI, I wouldn’t have thought much about the story, which was low on surprise and drama, and petered out at the end. In many respects, this reminded me of Judy, which had a more interesting supporting cast but less appealing star.
