This idea should have been killed at conception. This pitch should have been left on the table. I've never before reviewed a film without seeing it but I'm doing it here do for the simple reason that the short story "Escape from Spiderhead," by George Saunders (author of Licoln in the Bardo) is perfect, and un-filmable. Anyone with any sense would know this. It would be like a film adaptation of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." "Who should we get to play Prufrock...?" Please don't judge me for not bothering to sit through it. Just listen to those who did to see how right I am. Read the story instead.
