    Had a great time here, but I think the film more or less falls flat when it tries to be "politically conscious" near the end. I think Snowpiercer and Parasite are much more sophisticated films in that regard. Still, for much of the runtime it's a great showing all around, and Pattinson especially is an absolute delight.

    had a great time, it's quite a fun and wild ride, but this is a deeply hollow, heartless film that attempts to redeem it all in the last 10 minutes. Madison is stellar here, but she can only elevate the material so much. definitely my least favorite Baker to date

    ★½

    This is like if you tried to speedrun a shitty trilogy of Star Wars fanfiction into a single movie

    RoboCop

    ★★★★

    A protagonist as the horrifying unity between the commodity and the suffering it causes, production without externalities, forced to reconcile with its own contradictions.
