    A masterclass in viral marketing and nothing else. Good framing and acting makes for plenty to be screenshot, discussed, and memed, but its biggest weakness is giving the impression that it has something thoughtful to say. All the reactions are much more interesting than the movie itself, mostly thanks to a fumbled ending that cheapens all the buildup with every new reveal. By the end, I was asking the same questions that stemmed from all the buzz, mostly- why? Now, I didn't really care.

    The kind of movie that's fun to watch with friends, once.

    Step 1: Pay close attention because you think you’ll miss something important.
    Step 2: Decide to just go with it because it’s surrealism.
    Step 3: Spend the credits convinced that you missed a crucial detail at some point.
    Step 4: Repeat.

    No offense to this film but I accidentally paused it on a shot of Rooney Mara staring into the distance and I watched it for a solid minute thinking it was an ongoing shot.
