Three Thousand Years of Longing for This Film to End
Both Filmsuck co-hosts hated the new George Miller movie Three Thousand Years of Longing, a feeling shared by audiences everywhere, it seems, as the romantic fantasy wastes the talents of Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba in the lead roles and becomes one of the biggest box-office failures of 2022. The film raises the question "Why can't mainstream filmmakers do emotionally powerful movies about love anymore?" as well as "How can a movie with such a shocking 'Magical Negro' storyline have been blandly accepted by so many critics who gave the film glowing reviews?"
