The Libertine reads like a poem, clever witty dialogue, visually stylistic, and imaginative directing. Also like a poem, its confusing pieces don’t always go together, causing the audience to ask, what the hell is going on?
Another questioned I pondered was what the title had to do with the actual film. We all love Depp but Depp wants you to hate Depp, according to the prologue, is that reason enough to see it? I say no, because unless you’re into film, it may bore you.
