    You can rent this doc directly from their website for $11.99 (because of course no one is stepping up to make this movie more accessible and it probably won’t show up on any big streaming platform anytime soon).

    I watched this movie back to back with Anora. As a tale of « billionaires will fuck you up », Anora (even with the shouting) was more effective for me.

    The direction felt visually gimmicky. The characters’ motivation thinly drawn. I enjoyed the build-up and the intrigue but, the third act felt rushed. I didn’t like the tonal shift to camp territory.

    Still had a good time and I’ll be curious of what Zoe Kravitz does next.

    Didn’t expect this movie to dethrone Red Eye and claim the title of “My Second Favourite Movie starring Rachel McAdams”.

    Hot Robert Redford, a topic of great interest. The Watergate, a topic I still don’t understand. As someone whose dreams are only about work, this movie spoke to me since it’s about nothing else but the grind.
