We’re mere months into the new year and the sophomore run of the current administration, and all of us have aged twice that amount. We could use a boon; we certainly need a reprieve. A movie about a unicorn, that symbol of hope and grace from European antiquity, seems like just the ticket, right? What better creature to relieve us, even if temporarily, of our dread and our anxiety in these dreadful, anxious times? As a bonus, Jenna Ortega co-stars with Paul Rudd! Score. Next stop: bliss.
There’s one problem, or scratch that: There are several problems. The title of the movie is Death of a Unicorn, not simply A Unicorn—the death occurs very, very early in its running time, and Rudd himself is responsible for it.
