Scott E @RT19581245 Nov 14, 2025 Anger disguised as comedy. See more Dave S @RT68722908 Feb 21, 2023 Watching Entertainment is as uncomfortable as watching porn with your grandmother. That's pretty uncomfortable. Gregg Turkington (a.k.a. Neil Hamburger) is a down and out comedian travelling through the California desert, performing his lewd stand-up routine in any dive bar that will book him. Indie director Rick Alverson (who also produced, wrote and edited the movie) clearly has an eye for visuals as he effectively captures the vast expanses of nothingness, a landscape that seems to mirror his protagonist's personality and talent. As far as the content is concerned, there really isn't any scene that fails to make the viewer uncomfortable and, if that was the intent, the movie is wildly successful. Entertainment is a hard film to assign a rating to – most will hate it, some will love it, and both will have valid arguments to support their opinions. Watch for yourself…and good luck.

Was that the point? The audience feels good that they are not this guy? Hard pass.

The cinematography was interesting. I liked the use of colors and lighting. Neil Hamburger is obviously a big pull. I found it navel gazey and over-labored. I like films that can meander but this time it didn't work for me. The person I watched it with liked it. It's an acquired taste for sure, but I think the filmmakers were trying too hard. See more Oct 17, 2020 This film is probably wonderful. I didn't know whether to give it 5 stars or none. As it became quite, no, very tedious I went for one. Kafkaesque. You sit wondering where the movies going. It goes nowhere. A very unpleasant leading character with some but little talent but who has a touch of real life about him. As a documentary it would likely be good, but not as 'entertainment'; don't expect to be entertained. Like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Very slow motion. I toss a coin. Go or don't go. ... Heads: don't go. (It was a double-headed coin). See more Read all reviews
