    This is the thematic (and spiritual) successor to Game of Thrones, somehow.

    Though I felt nauseous from the one-shot and I was pressed about the video game-esque opening hour, this sprouted into an awesome film. After around 1:10 I started regretting never seeing this in theaters when it came out (I told my dad “let’s go watch this war movie that came out and everyone is saying is good” and he said “no”). Some untapped potential tbf, but it’s good, I’d say. The final act is immensely responsible for this film’s success, because it really is tuff.

    When does Adam Driver get to go back to making great movies? Cuz this might be one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. In the “everyday I wake up and…” scene, he gets increasingly more upset by the words coming out of his own mouth, rather than the nature of the conversation, something which is uncommon for actors to draw on, though it’s a very common thing in normal anger.

    David Lynch often talks about the fact that modern audiences are desensitized to violence, how terror in films has conditioned us to accept real-life horrors without the same visceral reaction they once provoked. Listening to his words, Denis Villeneuve creates a film which truly terrifies to the very core.

    That being said, however, this film is not good, or at least I didn’t like it. When it’s a subject like this the movie has to be more.

    Cutting these FWWM Cooper scenes and the extended version of the convenience store sequence and Jeffries’ whole thing is my David Lynch joker moment.
