Yikes.
Not nearly as funny or incisive as I would expect. Borderline unwatchable at parts (mostly Mark). Screenplay was…rough. But boy oh boy Robert Pattinson got me gal.
Fun parts, but somehow doesn’t feel like an actual movie. Could have gone so much further on so many fronts. Another marketing success for Osgood and Neon though!
1.5-2 stars for the good movie that is lurking somewhere within (admittedly I kind of loved parts of some of the musical sequences). Would probably dislike it a tad less if it weren’t nominated for 13 Oscars, admittedly…and if Selena Gomez weren’t in it, and if the script underwent a complete re-write, and if they cared to actually explore the complexity of trans identity, and if they actually involved idk people from Mexico in the movie?
