A crime if it doesn't show in theaters. #Cannes2017<br /><br />Kyle Buchanan - OKJA: Big pig and big ideas, but the performances are even bigger, topped by a Jake Gyllenhaal role so flamboyant it can be seen from space<br /><br />The Hollywood Reporter - Sadly, Jake Gyllenhaal opts for much broader slapstick mugging as Mirando's boozy sidekick Dr. Johnny Wilcox, a former TV zoologist whose reputation went into a nosedive after he signed on as a paid corporate shill. Channeling Jim Carrey at his most grating, Gyllenhaal is wasted here. <br /><br />The Playlist - Jake Gyllenhaal, in a performance broader than Okja’s rear end <br /><br />The Guardian - Admittedly, Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance as the gurning Dr Wilcox is pretty broad and so is Swinton’s own performance at the very beginning. But her presence in the film deepens and intensifies as time goes on, showing us new perspectives of family anxiety and she is a marvellously watchable villain, wincing and scowling with self-pity and fear. <br /><br />Variety - Gyllenhaal, sweaty and screechy in a performance that’s three times as weird as it needs to be. <br /><br />Screendaily - It should be said that hers is one of the few controlled turns in a film that wildly overindulges madcap performances. Worst offenders are a wildly mugging Shirley Henderson and Jake Gyllenhaal - “squeaking and whining,” as one character complains - in a manic comedy-nebbish role that Sacha Baron Cohen might have pulled off, but that is leadenly hysterical in a way that’s hardly characteristic of this fine thesp. <br /><br />I agree with the remark of horseface (It's offensive) thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-37226288743168860802017-06-19T03:47:25.465-04:002017-06-19T03:47:25.465-04:00Hey Dan, take a leaf out of Jason's blog which...Hey Dan, take a leaf out of Jason's blog which I luv - don't take things too seriously. I've nothing against Jake or any other celeb, it's sheer fun poking at featured stars here and there. I poke fun at others too and more so, at myself amongst friends. But coming back to the reviews, I've yet to see a positive write-up on Jake in that movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-71151269361792454722017-06-18T08:49:56.672-04:002017-06-18T08:49:56.672-04:00Y'all I love Jake more than words, but I also ...Y'all I love Jake more than words, but I also love our "horse face Jake" poster!

I don't understand the animosity. The reactions I saw on Twitter varied from "his performance is a revelation" to "rivals Swinton in Snowpiercer for daring" to "belongs in a different movie". I personally can't wait to see the film which gets a cinema release in the UK a few days before Netflix release.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624646575679702371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-58893648534994494282017-06-17T11:28:31.140-04:002017-06-17T11:28:31.140-04:00LOL!
