I watched Amsterdam, a 2022 comedy/mystery set in the 1930s, starring Margot Robbie and Christian Bale and a big cast of others including Mike Myers, Rami Malek, Robert De Niro and Chris Rock.
It is loosely based on The Business Plot, an actual political conspiracy in the US in the 1930s. I’d never heard of this before.
It was an interesting and ‘different than the usual’ type of movie. A lot of the focus was on the witty dialogue between characters. Pretty nice movie visually too. Overall I enjoyed it and would give it about 7/10.

Babylon feels like a similar style too, altho tbh I much prefer Babylon

Babylon is infinitely better and better executed though they might seem similar. I was put off by the trailer for Babylon just seeming like a big ensemble cast and 1920s extravagance movie but I loved it and showed how shallow Amsterdam was IMO.
