Raymond & Ray
“Raymond” (Ewan McGregor) arrives at the home of his step-brother “Ray” (Ethan Hawke) to declare that their rather brutish father has died. The former feels duty bound to go to the funeral – if only to see the man is dead – and after a bit of prevaricating, manages to convince his brother to attend too. Upon arrival, they discover that they are to inherit his (very) modest fortune, but the condition is that they must dig his grave, put his coffin into it, then cover it up afterwards. Despite generally despising this man, they go along with it and as the time for the interment approaches they discover that their late dad had quite a skill for making sons. The youngest being fathered with the younger “Lucia” (Maribel Verdú) with whom he ended up living at his demise and another set of rather acrobatic twins show up too. When it is just the two men on screen, there is a degree of intimacy and chemistry that works well – we get a sense of not just how nasty their father was, but of just how impactful his behaviour had been on his children – and on their own less than successful marital relationships. When the cast broadens out more though, the story loses that potency and we end up with a rather muddled series of character studies all centring around the behaviour of a man who isn’t actually here for us to evaluate ourselves. There are some lovely jazz numbers – “Ray” bring skilful with the trumpet, and the production is stylish but somehow the whole thing is just a bit lacklustre.
We lasted maybe 7 minutes.
I can’t help wondering why these 2 actors allowed this movie to be released or not demanded script rewrites or scenes reshot. Character development should be nuanced, not shoved down the audience’s throat in the first 3 minutes. McGregor and Hawke have zero believable connection. Their early interactions are robotic. Nothing seems genuine as to how brothers would react or converse with each other in a strained relationship or not. The script seems to rush the family’s backstory so quickly and it makes zero sense. The acting is surprisingly bad. You can’t help but wonder what was going on behind the scenes while this film was being shot. It’s awful. Just awful.
