    The characters are convincing and character moments in the latter parts of the film pay off, but it just took so long to get there. I felt like I had to watch these kids get high and fuck each other for an eternity. I get that it's kind of a vibes movie, but wasn't worth it for me.

    ★★★

    Really wanted to love this but it was so all over the place. Both bloated and underdeveloped. And full of unconvincing character moments? Still enough whimsy and Bong-magic to get it to stay afloat but he's set the bar so high it felt like a rare miss for him.

    Pattinson was great though. Ruffalo was not.

    Layer 1: To catch the killer, the detective must think like the killer! Thus corrupting his own mind...

    Layer 2: Watching a movie about catching a killer causes the viewer to resonate with the violent actions inherent within, thus mirroring the protagonist's own struggle...

    Layer 3: Movies are all about STYLE baby

    A wildly disorienting film. It's a web of complex, unlikable characters wrapped up in greed, depravity and desire. You never quite know what kind of film you're watching, and I love the way it seems to leave ambiguous whether characters are behaving of their own free will or are being driven by mystical impulses. It questions what do we really deserve? How do we earn it? Are we in control of our lives?

    It may not be the most complete…
