farrago

Her farrago of falsehoods includes allegations that Richer manipulated the printing of election ballots and “inserted” 300,000 phony votes into the final count to prevent Republican candidates, including Lake, from winning.

Director John Gould Rubin bears much of the blame for the ensuing farrago, though no one could accomplish this level of confusion alone.

This farrago of nonsense was ridiculed by critics, yet was a considerable best seller, his last.

The comparison doesn’t exactly flatter Pearce’s movie, an uneven farrago of science-fiction thriller and child abduction drama just about held together by Ahmed’s forceful and committed performance as a man teetering on the brink.

It is this, no matter how it plays out, that is the most curious element of the whole farrago.
