Review of Paper Moon

Paper Moon (1973)
4/10
Disappointing
4 January 2023
I have heard about this film for years, and so many people rate it very high. So I finally watched it, but I found it very disappointing. It has very little plot, glorifies bad behavior and has a rather unsatisfying ending. I'm not sure why Hollywood is always portraying con artists as such admirable people. We don't in real life. Just think about such things as the Enron and cryptocurrency scandals. Con artists are basically just theives. Maybe a lot of people just think it's cool having a father and daughter play the lead roles in a movie, but I think it's anything but cool when a father totally buys in to his 9-year-old daughter repeatedly smoking for the camera.
