This is a repost of my review from the 2019 Toronto International Film Fesitval.Dolemite Is My Nameis now streaming on Netflix. Regardless of how you feel about 1975’sDolemite, you’ll likely get swept up inCraig Brewer’s joyous, upbeat ode to its creator Rudy Ray Moore,Dolemite Is My Name. A film in the vein of “Let’s put on a show!” celebrations likeEd Wood(which sharesDolemite Is My Name’s writersScott AlexanderandLarry Karaszewski) andThe Disaster Artist, Brewer avoids trying to paint a complex portrait of Moore and instead heralds him as a dogged, relentless dreamer who didn’t want to let anything stand in his way....

Admittedly, I drifted away from Netflix’sHouse of Cardsin Season 2, but I can never fault the show for being anything other than exceedingly clever, especially with its marketing.

Panning up from a bouquet of flowers on a track, we see a poster for Frank’s Presidential campaign that he’s “putting America back on track....
