Frustration is Spielberg — 3 years ago
An excellently made and thoroughly depressing flick that suffers from Spielberg’s interesting recent tick of having multiple endings. On top of that, I had to deal with Spielberg’s squeamishness about nudity, which only made the love scenes more out of place. While I enjoyed the movie as a whole, its end, especially the final shot, seemed unearned. The movie was better when it was about people and their attempts to bring order from chaos through the application of more chaos. Its constant reminders and symbols of home and family felt forced, especially when intercut with the technically and thematically more successful action sequences.
