Not a perfect movie, and not even a subject matter I much care about. The casting is weird, sure, but if it means Travis Scott is a Greek bard, I'm in. Give me that sweet anachronism; it's icing on...

I was curious to see an older woman badass role, and I got what I came for. I dunno much about Allison Janney, but her grizzled, loner character worked for me. The other characters, though, were...
