However, that doesn’t mean that every Oscar-winning film is great.

In fact, some aren’t even good.

Nevertheless, that’s precisely whatThe Iron Ladywent ahead and did.

The movie ended up winning two Academy Awards.

Everything is one-note, which immediately renders the stakes pointless.

According to Letterboxd, this is one ofthe worst movies that have ever won an Academy Award.

Cavalcadeis painfully boring, uncomfortably mawkish, and really poorly paced and written.

Her power and influence in Hollywood at the time was evidently tremendous.

It was inCoquette, a romantic drama about a flirtatious Southern belle becoming compromised with one of her suitors.

Her performance inCoquetteis dodgy, over-the-top, and characterized by awful line delivery.

Indeed,Pickford would go on to star in only four talkies more after this one.

The topic at hand is the film itself, though, and…

It isn’t much better.

It’s the kind of film that you watch once and then completely forget a couple of weeks later.

Its huge scope and admirable production qualities are still fantastic, but everything else about it has aged horribly.

However, matters of the heart get in the way and complicate their ambitions.

As a historical document,The Broadway Melodyis interesting enough.

It was one of the first musicals ever made the problem is that you might clearly tell.

To save the world from the apocalypse like some kind of Suicide Squad.

An embarrassment.The pacing and editing?
