| Jackman e a bela Vera Farmiga |
O
FAVORITO (THE FRONT RUNNER, USA, 2018) – Candidato democrata favorito
para ganhar as eleições presidenciais de 1988, o senador Gary Hart viu todo seu
futuro presidencial desmoronar, após a imprensa descobrir seu romance com a então
modelo Donna Rice, embora ambos, até hoje, neguem que foram amantes. Hugh
Jackman (muito mais bonito que o Hart real) faz o papel do senador mulherengo
com comedimento e propriedade. Vera Farmiga (muito mais bela que a senhora
Hart) explora com dignidade e certa submissão o papel de esposa traída, mas já
sabedora das escapadas do marido. As boas atuações do elenco principal (que
ainda tem o ótimo J.K. Simmons) não estão em sintonia com o roteiro fraco e, até
certo ponto, desnecessariamente confuso e sem sentido. Favorite democratic candidate to win the
presidential elections in 1988, Senator Gary Hart had his political future shattered
by his extramarital love affairs made public by the press. Hugh Jackman (much
more handsome than the real Hart) plays the politician in this famous case of serial
philandering. Vera Farmiga (more gorgeous than Mrs. Hart) plays the role of the
betrayed wife with dignity and submission for she was fully aware of her
husband’s womanizing. Good performances from the leads (besides the great J. K. Simmons), but the screenplay was an
underwhelming convoluted mess of many quick irrelevant scenes that dragged on
into pointless plot issues.
