‘King’-sized slam
“The King,” starring Gael Garcia Bernal and William Hurt, was filmed in Austin last year and should hit theaters this summer.
Already, though, it’s being dethroned by the friendly fellows at IndieWire, where critic Michael Keresky writes: “Never intent to call out its own trash as trash, ‘The King’ couches its head-slapping melodramatics in turgid metaphor and gross self-importance.”
We like mean. Enjoy the verbal disembowelment here.
