The Monkey 2025
Insincere and irony poisoned hell with equally impactless and overly polished filmmaking as longlegs. But funny this time.
I really hate how so many films are trying to emulate and create "campiness" while overly polishing every single frame and cut to have the most mindless smooth movie-soup for everyone to look at--not even watch.

I feel the POV treatment the weakest aspect, since it somewhat alienates the viewer from the real terrible history the narrative is presenting but I'm glad it wasn't something else like a completely handheld style.
