johnke.mePirates of Silicon Valley
Hits all of the anecdotes and essential events through a series of incredibly brief, sometimes barely-connected vignettes. I know it’s going to be divisive but I personally like how sometimes the film can’t figure out a “show, don’t tell” way of highlighting the importance of a moment, so it will break the fourth wall and have characters pop out of a scene to talk about what we’re seeing. It’s cheap but it feels very 90s and very comforting. Also feels like it maybe could have benefited from a slightly better budget? This is especially true of the needle-drops (although Burnin’ Down the House to close out the film is an all-timer).
More entertaining than it should have been.
