The totally true story about Edgar Allan Poe
19 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
No pun intended and all according to the video message by the director himself - who also added "that never happened". I wonder if some people will dislike the review based on my summary headline? Quite likely I reckon, but worth for the fun ... I mean pun. Or maybe even both? Quite likely both.

Now when it comes to fun, there is not too much of that here. But there is some comedy and of course when we learn about things out of this world, we do get to hear the character making jokes about that. But overall it is more serious than anything - and quite brutal. There is a hint of romance too, but it may not go the way you expect it to go.

Depending on how many movies you've seen you may be aware of things and predict stuff ... and also depending on how much of a Poe fan you are, you may be able to see things, let's call them easter eggs, that connect him to this. Great sound, good actors and intriguing story.
