Bernie

Richard Linklater always manages to captivate me with his specific approach that he gives to his films. This time it is a combination of fiction and documentary, where you probably won't even realize the presence of real documentary elements until the final credits roll. Until then, you might think it's all part of a game. And it is, but it's cleverer than one would expect. Oh, and I have to highlight Jack Black! (01.07.2016)

In my opinion, these authors just didn’t know how low they should go to make the weirdest possible movie based on real-life events. At the beginning, I’d been informed that I would be introduced to the real characters at the end. And when I saw them, I really believed that all of that has truly happened. Jack Black played his part perfectly. The whole thing isn’t really that funny, it’s just a ton of weird things going on. And the strangest thing is Bernie himself. All those references to Texans were really funny – but the bastardized English and the triumph of rednecks over humanity? Not so much. (13.04.2014)
