Cavalcade

Rating: 2.5/5

Cavalcade is perfectly fine, but rather boring.

It's one of those stories where its drama comes from the many decades in which its plot sweeps, but because time is traveled through so quickly, you don't really get a sense of who the characters are, and therefore, don't really feel that invested in their story.

As I've been working my way through all the Academy Award Best Picture winners, this is one that hasn't exactly left a lasting mark on my memory. Though I will say the concept of using New Year's Eve as a time marker throughout each segment of the movie was a good way to keep the events of the plot easily understandable.
