Hemingway and Gellhorn
Blu-ray Review: Naggingly Hollow ‘Hemingway and Gellhorn’ Falls Flat
Submitted by mattmovieman on April 11, 2013 - 1:30pmCHICAGO – It doesn’t sound like a particularly bad idea. In exploring the globe-trotting adventures of author Ernest Hemingway and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, why not use archival footage of the actual sights and sounds that they encountered, while nesting the actors into the frame, a la “Forrest Gump”? I didn’t think it was a bad idea at all until roughly three minutes into the movie.
