    Has its moments and is pushed over the line by a sick ending

    Outside of two absolute banger songs there’s nothing to provide much excitement or intrigue. It’s a solid set-up, but it lands on quite basic revelations that immediately dampen any of the work done prior.

    Shoutout to the southwest corner of 49th & 8th, which Ayo crosses early on. I fell in love inside that building and, outside of the songs, getting flushed with memories was the best part of this.

    Yes, yes, a million times fuck yes. Anderson smashes Teorema, La Piscine, and early career Lanthimos together, while delivering a wholly unique visual style that should ignite fireworks inside of the soul of any true fan of the possibilities within this medium. The story itself is loose and weird and unsettled, all complimentary. He sparks thoughts and questions inside of you and answers just the right amount at just the right speed.

    Love that Director Bong won all the Oscars and then went back to making cartoony monster metaphors like he was pre-Parasite. Pattinson’s so good, and I immediately bought and loved Ackie in this way more than in Blink Twice. We stand with the Creepers!
