Iggy Pop had the right idea: If you can’t say it in 21 words then you’re not saying it right.
So without further ado, welcome to the 21 Word Review of Mute.
Over-long and laborious with inconsistent performances. Excluding the sublime soundtrack and some neat techno-touches, this sadly should have been kept schtum.
Writing that hurt.

Great concise review, this is one of many bad reviews I’ve heard about Mute and it saddens me greatly considering how much I love Duncan Jone’s first two films and I even thought Warcraft was okay, but a little boring, but I had heard he’d wanted to make this film for a while and to think that its come out and has been received so negatively sucks. I’m still gonna watch it within a month to see if it is as bad as many reviews have suggested.

It was 12 years in the making apparently and I had such high hopes. Have you got around to watching it yet?
