Not very well, honestly. Hence the mixed reviews. Amsterdam felt like two different decent movies that didn’t fit together. It starts out seeming to be an earnest, whimsical love story between a group of friends and somehow ends up being an antifascist historical drama. The murder mystery is a really brief side plot red herring and what the main characters really investigate for some reason is who is behind the plot to overthrow the President.
