Interview with the Vampire (1994 film)

The cheese is a double-edged sword. Umpire never threatens to become boring, not an easy feat for a melodrama that’s over two hours, but it also means the emotional beats don’t have a hope of stirring the senses beyond “whoa, I can’t believe they did that!”. That Interview eventually comes to embrace its nuttiness, particularly with its ending, means I’m on its side, and I’ll give credit to the game cast for never treating the material as being beneath them even as the goods are unevenly distributed—there’s a reason no one talks about Pitt. Likable, though far from great.
