DRAFT-
The first Eggers movie that is completely wearing on me. I think something is happening to him as he becomes more accustomed to being a movie director, where the artifice of modern film production has been seeping in since The Northman.
There's a certain scene where this movie goes full "you're looking at a set" that is so jarring it's almost like watching an SNL skit, where the two couples are indoors at a dinner party staircase.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson doesn't take anything seriously, he's just wearing a fake moustache and a smirk.
