An American Pickle

"What happens if someone falls into an abandoned tank in a factory? Jack Nicholson had the misfortune of falling into an acid barrel in the Batman movie, turning into the Joker. Seth Rogen, almost as a direct reference, was submerged in a barrel full of pickles. From there, instead of becoming a villain, he is just preserved in that place until, decades later, he is rescued. He is the same. Nothing has changed. From there, directed by Brandon Trost (cinematographer of 'Disaster Artist'), 'An American Pickle' shows the contrasts between generations - and how we have changed, as a society, from those times. The film makes some mistakes and prolongs some stories too much, but it is undeniable that it has some really good ideas, like the success of the character on the streets of California."
