    The first half of the movie was so good, I loved the world building and the overall quirkiness. The concept of expandables/multiples is so cool and rich in potential ramifications and ethical questions, it’s a shame that the final act switched focus to what seemed to be an entirely different story line. The intrigue around the crawlers was very formulaic and uninspired, to me it didn’t really contribute to the themes the movie was building towards previously.

    I’m surprised people aren’t talking as much about Jesse Eisenberg’s performance, there were a few scenes where i was really touched by his sincerity 

    All in all I liked the themes explored and the movie overall, but boy it was hard to watch for someone who doesn’t enjoy second hand embarrassment

    The ice cream parlour scene!!!! Slapped me in the face!!!!
    Fernanda Torres is a force to be reckoned with
    4 stars because the ending fell super flat imo. The time jumps didn’t contribute much to the story, and overall really took me out of the experience, an unfortunate note to end such a strong movie on
