Cosmetics - The World According to Jeff Goldblum (2020)


If you’ve ever lost a few hours to the YouTube rabbit hole which is Jeff Goldblum doing interviews - with puppies, with Taika Waititi, with a wide-eyed veneer of faux-ignorance - as I have, then the news that Goldblum was going to be spearheading the National Geographic’s flagship Disney+ documentary series must have been an enticing one. Goldblum is entertaining no one more than himself in his old age which makes this investigative series a rather binge-able watch. In Cosmetics, Jeff grapples with his own vanity and explores the effects of makeup on performance, self-esteem and modern art all with an offbeat peculiarity which sets his series apart from the rest.
