The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is the Nicolas Cage, fictionalised version of himself film. Cage stars alongside Pedro Pascal, Sharon Horgan, Ike Barinholtz, Alessandra Mastronardi, Jacob Scipio, Neil Patrick Harris, and Tiffany Haddish.
Haddish is everywhere right now. She steals every scene she is also in with this latest action/comedy/bio film. If ever there was a genre bending film it was The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. The below trailer may be a bit spicy too. You have been warned!
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent had its world premiere at South by Southwest in March. Released in Australia in time for yet another April public holiday.
The film received positive reviews from critics, with praise for the performances and chemistry of Cage and Pascal. Pascal was particularly good in this film. A massive departure from his role in The Mandalorian/The Book of Boba Fett.
I really enjoyed parts of this film. It's short, genre bending, funny but also a little silly at times. It's a Cage showcase but others like Haddish and Patrick Harris.
If you are in the mood for a popcorn film, this one might be for you. 3 Stars for the Con Air/Face/Off throwback.
