I'm all for quality dramatizations of true stories. Something interesting & true will generally beat out something interesting & fictional. But, something interesting & partially true, while being too fictional, becomes the least enjoyable of these categories, for me. It's like, you want to hold on to being absorbed by the appeal that only a true story can provide, but if it goes too far with fictional aspects, the appeal is almost completely lost. An example of this in another movie is the police chase of the airplane at the end of Argo. If that had really happened - wow - amazing. Instead, it comes across as almost an insult to your intelligence. All the Money in the World is visually stunning with it's directing and depicted time period, sophisticated - until Mark Wahlberg shows up, trying to act sophisticated - and the basics of the story are fascinating, but as a result of its over-embellishment, I felt stuck in limbo between relishing a fascinating historical event & characters, and just enjoying something made for entertainment. Worth watching.
