    Commonnnn 
    I wanted to like this so much. Robby P was amazing as always and it looked good and the violence was fun and there were a few just philosophical ideas (that they didn’t even explore) that I liked but this wasn’t great. 
    I just thought it was so jumbled and anti-climactic 
    The pace was so off, so bad, I never felt like the movie actually started. Also the comedy fell short a ton,
     also nothing had anything to do with anything

    Just a classic little indie movie. Cheesy but in an endearing way. Almost goes into the art school “two characters getting passionate talking about the meaning of life” territory, and actually does cross over but did it well. 
    Not reinventing anything but I enjoyed it. 
    Kieran Culkin 100% deserved the Oscar and I’m so glad he got it, he’s the best.

    Faux intellectual bullshit. So bad. So slow for no reason.
    Serious angsty college kid who thinks he’s deep tries unsuccessfully to write a David Fincher movie. You can viscerally feel how fucking deep the filmmaker thinks he is. 
    Color grading way too yellow. Super melodramatic and doesn’t work. 
    I usually love Denis Villeneuve and Jakey G but this is ABSOLUTE trash. So bad I actually felt adrenaline at how bad it was. 
    If someone likes this they don’t know what a good movie is.

    I usually love Spielberg but this was absolute trash. I’m actually mad I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this.
