And what if I was kinda charmed by Ella McCay? It’s the kind of baffling unintentional fantasy about overly verbose adults they just don’t make anymore, filled with bizarre narrative diversions, set in an overly lit world. Emma Mackey is a delight, Albert Brooks a pro. I laughed!
ELLA MCCAY was be surprisingly effective for me. It’s a bit sluggish, overstuffed and nowhere near as winning as Brooks’s past works. But there’s an endearing charm that sells a traditional, earnest tone. A solid cast, with Albert Brooks as MVP, made this mostly engaging.
@CarolineSiede loved your review but did @RottenTomatoes decide to change a rotten sounding review to fresh? Crazy out of your whole review that’s the line they select to use.
