movie review - The Sleepover

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2020.08.29

We watched this for "movie night". It's about a bunch of kids that determine that their mother is a former spy and try to help her when she's drawn into one last job. It's quite an uneven thing, with some bits working and others not. I didn't find it interesting enough despite a great cast and a story that really just had to be a kid-friendly version of "Long Kiss Goodbye".

There's a lot of iffy stuff for kids on Netflix, and this is not one of the better pieces.

Not recommended.

Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power.
