Review: Holeee
Moleee, every thing your mother ever warned you about then some.
Graphic, sexual, vulgar, blasphemous and rude are the FEW things i
could say about this one, but it's also brilliantly thought provoking
and quite a feast for the eyes and mind. In the prologue, one of few
movies that have a true one, The Second Earl of Rochester (Johnny Depp)
states quite clearly that he does not want you to like him, and indeed
you will not, for you will either hate him, or envy him, but you will
NOT like him. I am quite certain this film was shaved down a bit to
make the R rating, and it barley stays within that rating as it is. The
Earl of Rochester was a brilliantly eloquent man who was not
appreciated in his time, but he was also a passionate hedonist who
reveled in it to his death. Depp masters the character well and
portrays the character and the language with a brilliance that makes it
an experience to watch. The easily offended will flee this film in the
prologue, and the not easily offended might leave very soon after. It
will take a bit of effort to stay at points in this film and it's not
one to be considered a "not to be missed" so keep that in mind. Nope,
no kids, everyone going needs to be 18+, and with very good reasons,
for there are many.
Don't wait.

Plot: The
Second Earl of Rochester is a passionate hedonist in the late 1600's,
as well as the most brilliant writer and speaker of his age. One or the
other can lead to doom if misapplied, in a nation with a monarchy of
it's time. A feast of the senses, this is a powerful story of many
passions.
