Film Review: "Amsterdam': A Farcical Period Piece About Proto-Fascism in the USA

R | 2h 14m | Comedy, Farce, Drama | October 7, 2022


“A lot of this actually happened.”
So opens the elaborate screwball mystery "Amsterdam," from  director David O. Russell who brought us "American Hustle," "The Fighter," and "Silver Linings Playbook."
Which is to say, it's an overlong but also sometimes hilariously quirky riff on 1933's little-known "White House putsch," wherein a cabal of wealthy American businessmen conspired to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt, hoping to dupe one retired U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Smedley Darlington Butler into leading their fascist veteran's organization.
The jokes are mild but funny and the cast is great, but most audiences will be bored. It moves too slowly. Some audiences will love it. I, for one, just enjoyed watching A-list actors dress up in period costumes and deliver oddball comedy with deadpan deliveries....
