    🧢 OFF

    I felt like the humor and 
    dialogue was SO sophisticated. 
    It was refreshing.

    It’s relatively slow and dialogue 
    heavy, but it’s not “boring”.

    Cinematography was quite tame.

    The acting >> | No notes on their performances

    What I enjoy about the first half
    was that this espionage wasn’t 
    very wham-bam-pow, very much
    A spy version of Game of Thrones.
    It’s a sleek film. And seductive in
    terms of appeal.

    I was locked in the whole
    film.

    🧢 OFF

    We need more animated projects
    like this in theaters. Keep in mind 
    I’m not even a big fan of looney 
    tunes, I just didn’t watch it growing up.

    Script: 8/10 | The exaggerated tonality
    combined with the animated expressions were gold lol

    I’m sorry the lisp and spitting of
    the duck consistently made me
    laugh😂

    Humor: 9/10 | I genuinely feel 
    younger and older folks would 
    find this equally funny lol.

    It’s not boring, but the cinematography 
    is…

    🧢 OFF

    Premise: 9/10 | it’s dystopian 
    but the apathy and lack of 
    humanity shown to Mickey is 
    timely, in my opinion, considering 
    the opportunity we have to treat 
    ai/advanced robots, and on a 
    more socioeconomic level, folks 
    who are treated as “expendable” 
    because they are marginalized, 
    ostracized or disenfranchised.

    Ingenuity: 9/10. One of a kind.

    Social Commentary: 8/10

    Immersion: 9/10

    Robert Pattinson’s Performance:
    10/10

    The satirical portrayal of
     power, tyranny, leadership, 
    bigotry & corrupt institutions 
    is top tier.

    The romance was surprisingly
    moving.

    Go see in theaters.

    Ayo Edibiri carries. 10/10 
    on her performance

    Thought it had good 
    social commentary on
    being the only POC
    in a corporate space,
    or being a young person who
    has to live in the shadow of
    egotistical folks of the 
    previous generation.

    Ingenuity: 4/10 | I haven’t seen
    a movie following a writer/
    journalist in a while, but it
    quickly devolved to tropes
    that I’ve seen before in 
    this genre.

    I kind of liked the setup but
     I didnt…
