The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Review

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent hits theaters on April 22, 2022. Review by Alex Navarro.

It probably goes without saying that Nicolas Cage obsessives will get precisely what they're looking for out of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent's meta-exploration of the actor's persona, but the real heart and soul of the picture is Cage's on-screen bromance with Pedro Pascal's Javi. Their chemistry carries the movie into far more memorable territory, and more than makes up for a few of the film's less-interesting elements.

Obviously this is going to be great. It has all the hallmarks of a great Nic Cage film.

1) It exists.

[GQFJB]

Nick wasn't even playing himself, he said he was irritated with how the writers wrote his own character.

[DeathClawDC]

Damn
This is a 11 out of 10 movie
Because our legend casts as himself
And he does it legendarily

[HattaTHEZulZILLA]

Seeing a Hollywood actor taking all that jokes about him and rolls with it to poke fun at himself in this movie earned my respect for the man.
I'm going to try to see this movie in theaters... if they are open in my area...

Great review Alex! Great to see you back talking about movies. Looking forward to hearing more on the Nextlander pod.

Great job Alex Navarro! Can't wait to hear about this movie on the next NextLander Podcast!

[RandomShinigami]

Wasn’t expecting Alex’s voiceover, but at the same time it only feels right that Alex is the one talking about a Nic Cage movie.

[CaptnDestruct]

Saw this for an early screening. Worth every minute

[sunriseparrabellum]

so many people forget this man is an oscar winning actor and he 100% deserves that award

[randycluever]

Alex Navarro on IGN... what a time to be alive! Can't wait to see this movie.

[sfb]

Pedro Pascal is also amazing in this movie.

[kevinwray]

Alex? Is that you? Working at IGN now? Or just contracting to reviewing movies again... back to his roots! Love it! Great hearing your voice again!

[CeasarSaladsRule]

Nice review Alex! Fun hearing about this on Nextlander and now hearing your actual thoughts

[SahafGece]

Ahh yes Alex Navarro and Nicolas Cage. Universe is perfectly balanced.

[silashurd]

I’m very excited for this movie!

Nick and Pedro look like they have bromantic chemistry!

[Opportunist]

This film really makes you feel like Nicholas Cage.

[Healthywave]

the last 5 or so Nic Cage movies have been absolutely fantastic. he's really making an amazing comeback

[jacobstevenmohrbooks]

"Giving himself over entirely to the role is what it means to be Nicolas Cage" is about the nicest thing.

[kenji]

Let's be honest, no one can play nic cage better than nic cage himself

[badger.phipps]

Alex Navarro?!?! YES!! wasn't expecting that! legend
