    ★★

    Took like 45 minutes to get started, and then the third act was almost all flashback, beautifully crafted to be unenjoyable for me. 

    Things I don’t want to see in movies:
    - lines/scenes about Covid if it’s not necessary to the plot 
    - TV screens with Jake Tapper and Dr. Fauci on them 
    - Heavy handed satires of Elon Musk and Joe Rogan 
    - Among Us jokes, mentions of Jackbox Games/Quiplash
    - Cell phone screens/cell phones being used for thing other than calls 

    Sorry but all of those things I can get from doomscrolling on Twitter, don’t need them in movies too

    ★★★½

    Looked great and great score, some really good performances and some confusing ones, some straight forward themes on artist vs patron and the American dream and exploitation, and a very confusing narrative on Zionism where I am extremely confused on what the message is supposed to be

    Credit to a long movie that is made so well and does not drag (it almost rushed through the second half) but as I thought about how I’d have to watch it again to try to hammer down my final thoughts, I also started thinking that I don’t really want to
