I'm glad to see it. I never understood the hate for TFE. I'd say it was too self-consciously hipster: rushing in and out of raves, charging past throngs of admirers while tossing cool lines over his shoulder, etc. And too many scenes of various characters announcing portentously "this is the biggest leak of classified documents ever!" or "this is a disastrous diplomatic nightmare!" depending which side they're on. But I liked the even-handedness of the story and how it refuses to cast either side as entirely heroes or villains. What seems very simple at the start of the movie, increases in complexity as we see more people's views and further develop the character's personalities, ending up very conflicted which is how these things really are. TBH the only thing I really hated were the fake teeth giving him a lisp, but maybe JA really has a lisp, I don't know.

I casually found this old Bill Condon interview and wow! I really can't understand all the crazy reactions to this barely seen film. At the time Assange and his fans hated it and now a few are convinced that people behind it were their fans. Probably it's one of the most measured documents about him even if it's not a great movie but they wouldn´t know because they didn't watch it: www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/beauty-beast-director-bill-condon-bringing-musicals-back-981418

In that case, I'm sure Hillary was very disappointed when he looked like a rock star in it.
