    Completely fails to connect to the human spirit. There’s nothing to relate to. Scattered in the worst possible way. Doesn’t take any risks. Almost want to call it anti-intellectual. Full of stale victimhood tropes. More frustrating than boring. Incongruent. Events occur one after another, but nothing ties them together meaningfully… or at all. Self-indulgent fart-sniffing Oscar bait slop.

    It’s a horribly messy film but has many redeeming aspects. No one online seems to realize that the film is chiefly about Thanatos.

    After the screening at my cinema, someone genuinely asked the whole room if everyone was alright.

    It did indeed make me sick to my stomach. 

    The social commentary was less than half baked. 

    Intentional tone, atmosphere, not just another 2020s thriller 

    Some of the grossest body horror 

    Pretty good absurd humor 

    There were things I would do differently but overall impressive
