Annette INSTANT POST-CINEMA REACTION

Nine years have elapsed since the last salvo sprung from the mind of the layabout Leos Carax (remember, he was the director of 2012’s unkempt Holy Motors). Now, Carax brings us Anette. And it's a musical - a sort of sloppy and often sublime mess of a thing that seems as indebted to Bo Burnham as it is Fellini (apes of god, uncanny mannequins, the lot). But is Anette good enough, or does it go out with a whimper? This week, the boys brought their mics along for a post-screening pub chat in order to figure it all out.
