‘Jimpa’ Review: Olivia Colman and John Lithgow in a Well-Intentioned but Numbingly Earnest Inter-Generational Queer Family Drama
frankly speaking, it’s rather dull and awkward, similar to being trapped in a room filled with overzealous students from a queer studies class, always sharing too much. Not even the intriguing spectacle of Lithgow frolicking in an Amsterdam sex dungeon, adorned only by a leather vest and nipple ring, seems to breathe any excitement into it.
To put it bluntly, it’s quite boring and uncomfortable, much like being stuck in a room with over-enthusiastic students from a queer studies class who never stop talking. The scene of Lithgow playing in an Amsterdam sex dungeon, wearing only a leather vest and nipple ring, doesn’t seem to add any energy to it.
Both versions aim to convey the same idea while using slightly different wording and phrasing.
