  1941 1979

  ★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Genuinely the most exhausting movie I think I’ve ever seen. Felt like 1941 minutes long. After sitting through a movie that feels longer than The Brutalist, The Irishman, and Killers of the Flower Moon, you’re treated to end credits where every character is introduced screaming at the top of their lungs which sums up the overall experience.

But no it’s all played pretty straight. And I didn’t totally believe all of Alden’s actions the fake Jordan Peterson stuff is pretty lowbrow. Actually maybe I wasn’t that into this.
