Remember in SUPERMAN (1978) when Lex Luthor described how “some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it’s a simple adventure story” whereas others can “read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe”? I felt like the makers of the new film BALLERINA could be the former. They view the JOHN WICK series from which it came as little more than a series of stunts and shoot-em-up’s, but that is far too simple a read.

Critics and audiences may be taken by the hooey that is BRING HER BACK, but it’s a poseur of a film, one that ignores its own internal logic and the logic of the real world, for that matter. It’s a well-produced yarn that unfortunately relies on easy frights, egregious misdirection, and stupidity running rampant amongst its characters to achieve its goals of scaring an audience.

The great French composer, Claude Debussy, once famously said, “People don’t very much like things that are beautiful. They are so far from their nasty little minds.” He also wryly stated, “The trouble with the opera is that there’s always too much singing.” What Debussy was getting at with both quotes referred to an essence of grumpiness in the human condition.
