Amal Clooney looked stunning as she and her husband, George Clooney, left the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday.
The 46-year-old international human rights lawyer turned heads in an eye-catching orange jumpsuit.
She boarded a river taxi with George, 63, in style, accessorizing with gold heels and a chic white Prada handbag.
Meanwhile, George kept things casual in a navy T-shirt and taupe slacks.
George Clooney’s Latest Movie: A Critical Flop?
The Clooneys were heading home after promoting George’s new film, Wolfs.
Unfortunately, the movie hasn’t fared well with critics.
Despite its hefty $200 million budget, the Apple TV+ film has been panned as a “messy” dud.
Critics have labeled it a one-star failure and an “unbearable comedy.”
Mixed Reviews on Wolfs
The film, which is set to hit theaters on September 20, follows George and Brad Pitt as they reluctantly team up to solve a problem involving a deceased 20-something and a tough-on-crime DA.
Despite the star power, the film has been criticized for its lackluster plot and uninspired script.
IGN’s Siddhant Adlakha described it as a “slick student film” and The Guardian’s Xan Brooks likened it to a meme of two Spidermen pointing at each other.
The Telegraph’s Robbie Collin called it “messy” and suggested that if George Clooney continues to make such films, Quentin Tarantino’s opinion of him as a movie star might hold true.
Critics Weigh In
Adlakha noted that the film’s issues are evident early on, with many critics feeling that the movie relied too much on the stars’ names rather than delivering a compelling story.
Barry Levitt from the Daily Beast criticized the film for repeating the same joke ad nauseam, while Collin pointed out that attempts at humor and character development fall flat.
Levitt mentioned that Clooney and Pitt’s performances felt mechanical, as if they were merely going through the motions for their hefty paychecks.
Despite moments that could have developed into something more meaningful, such as jokes about aging, these ideas never fully materialize.
Final Thoughts
In the end, critics agree that Wolfs suffers from typical streaming film issues.
The BBC called it a “genially watchable yet forgettable time-passer,” while Collin saw it as part of a troubling trend in cinema: famous names cast in lightweight action comedies to boost a streaming platform’s brand.
According to Collin, it might be less about making a great film and more about adding some star power to a digital service’s lineup.
