unlabelledView post →New film. Ballad of a Small Player. Colin Farrell and Tilda Swinton --both excellent. Fine film making. The setting makes it fascinating--modern Macao. I loved the stuff about the Hungry Ghosts myths .. .Drama, with eerie elements, suspenseful. Last act a bit predictable. Didn't ruin it for us.

unlabelledView post →"Colin Farrell is perfectly cast as a fraudulent gambler on the run in the neon-filled streets of Macau in #BalladOfASmallPlayer, Edward Berger's follow-up to Conclave. The film is beautifully shot with wide-lens cinematography that captures the seductive purgatory of the casino world." #TIFF50

unlabelledView post →Ballad Of a Small Player is a fantastic under appreciated film . I say that as a man who has gambled in Macau and woke up hungover in Hong Kong
unlabelledView post →Tonight's film is... Ballad of a Small Player. It's the new Netflix thing with Colin Farrell & Tilda Swinton. So far, it's got the Netflix sheen - lots of neon, taking full advantage of Macau's lights and glitz. Of course Farrell is eminently watchable as the down on his luck gambling lord
unlabelledView post →Everyone says they only make sequels and cartoons and superhero movies these days. But I just watched 'Ballad of a Small Player' on Netflix. A feature length movie about Buddhist theology starring Colin Farrell set in Macau, it's not a winner on paper! Credit to Netflix for making it. 1/2
unlabelledView post →BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER – As chaotic + unfocused as dir. Edward Berger’s previous film CONCLAVE was structured + highly controlled. Did not remotely care about this character or his predicament. But it’ll be on Netflix so here's a movie you can play in the background as you fold laundry. #TIFF50 📽️

unlabelledView post →At the BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER Q&A the director Edward Berger and stars Colin Farrell and Fala Chen talked about their process of making this film about addiction in Macau. For me Macau was the true star of the film - gorgeous, moody, mysterious and made me want to see more of it.

unlabelledView post →I have many opinions about the film BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER itself that I will share in due course, but one of my primary takeaways is that baccarat, as a game for gambling, is fucking stupid.

unlabelledView post →Normally I love any movie about gambling and Ballad of a Small Player is on Netflix but man those reviews are deadly.
unlabelledView post →Film #117 for 2025 is Ballad of a Small Player (2025). Director Edward Berger tries his hand at a psychodrama-slash-ghost-story, with visually stunning results, an anxiety-inducingly-sweaty performance from Colin Farrell, and storytelling that will inevitably be divisive. I liked it.

unlabelledView post →I can also recommend Ballad of a Small Player that's streaming on Netflix. It's not as good as THOS, but it's worth the time and effort, I thought. Also, if you haven't seen Hedda on Amazon, you should give it a go. DaCosta is a brilliant film maker I think, and all the women in the film...
unlabelledView post →Man, it's rare I go from full love to hard hate in the space of a single movie but The Ballad of a Small Player pulled it off. I was so on board with this in its first act. Bombastic style, great Farrell perf. Tropes were navigable. And then it all went to shit. I hear the book is good 🤨
unlabelledView post →Ballad of a Small Player 2.5/5 It does reek of "everyone is doing this for the streaming Bux" and a little bit of "Chinese tourism board". That saud, Farrell is watchable in anything and visually the movie has a lot to it. Plotwise not so.
