    Somehow a 98-minute movie felt really long. So much stuff that had no relevance to anything. Some of it was funny but still, it felt like a short film that they forced into a feature.

    Loved the look and the vibe, but for a very straightforward story it was way longer than it needed to be. Also Bill was not as scary as he should've been, and the Vlad the Impaler mustache was an odd choice.

    When I saw this 10 years ago, I remember thinking: they should make more movies like this.

    With the prevalence of AI this year, this one feels even more relevant now. But when you watch this movie, it's not really about AI and it's place in society, it's a lot more about human relationships and emotions. It's more metaphorical and about feeling. Rarely do I see a movie that commits this well. It's beautiful and intense.
