Winner (2024)

The farcical, tongue-in-cheek vibe felt a little odd for the based-on-fact subject, but I appreciated it nonetheless. Emilia Jones makes for a very likable heroine: her voiceover, though humorous, is also filled with magical manifestations (e.g. "if I can xxx, then xxx is true"), which seems at odds with her matter-of-fact approach to right and wrong. But maybe that's why it felt honest: we're all enigmas.

A decently entertaining film that I'm not sure I can fully trust.
