This isn't always the easiest movie to watch but it's a pretty affecting movie about the relationship between two cousins during a Holocaust tour in Poland. A lot of people know someone like Benji (Kieran Culkin's character), someone who is a lot of fun to hang out, if annoying, until all of a sudden they aren't fun anymore. I related more to David (Jesse Eisenberg's char), who struggled more to make connections with people, even though I don't have OCD…
It's just as bad as people are hyping. Perhaps worse.
The acting is atrocious across the board. Yes, even Adam Scott. The worst performance is by the guy who plays the villain, who gives perhaps the worst superhero villain performance of all time. The most hilarious part is that seemingly all of his dialogue is ADR'd. It's really distracting.

Pretty fun and creepy enough. Didn't care about the AI stuff. Could have done without the long montage that explains everything in the beginning, which should just have been a few clips of the show without narration. The rest of the movie is a tape of the "episode" with B-roll footage, which is a fun conceit but the B-roll footage feels like some obvious cheating. Good performances by David Dastmalchian, Ingrid Torelli, and Ian Bliss.
