Mac S Giving it half a star because I can’t give it a 0 otherwise I would. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Courtney K idk what it was... the story is good & the acting was good; I didn't even mind that it was a slower pace movie. but it just did NOT hold my attention. i liked the beginning & I liked the end, but the journey to get there was so incredibly boring. it doesn't keep the tension very well IMO. it's not a bad watch by any means, I just don't think i'd go out of my way to recommend it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Rob W Really not sure how this got a 27% audience review but completely agree with the critics that this is a great movie. Not for everyone as it's a slow burn and psychological movie and doesn't have a typical American movie ending. Acting writing and directing are all great with some awesome unpredictable twists. Definitely recommend! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Brick B Worst ending imaginable. Truly—ever. One enters a thriller with the reasonable expectation of being artfully manipulated: misled, toyed with, nudged to the brink of madness like some poor doomed heroine in a Hitchcockian melodrama. One welcomes the paranoia, the creeping suspicion, the exquisite little frisson that perhaps you are the one being gaslit. It’s all part of the charm. But alas, this particular film, having assembled a splendid cast and the skeleton of what might have been a brilliant narrative, chose instead to collapse in upon itself like a badly-erected soufflé. It squandered its plot, insulted its performers, and, most egregiously, spat in the face of its audience by offering no resolution—none at all. The story simply withered, curled up in the final act like a poisoned fern. Normally I’m something of a contrarian when it comes to popular opinion—happy to champion the misunderstood, the avant-garde, the critically maligned. But in this case, no. The critics are right. The movie is an ordeal. Watching it is like being serenaded by a virtuoso only to discover halfway through that the composition is just a series of tuneless scales, looped until your will to live evaporates. I am henceforth resolved never to venture into cinematic territory again without consulting the collective wisdom of strangers on the internet. I have been wounded—deeply, spiritually—and trust, once broken, is not so easily restored. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Tom L That fact that this film currently has an audience rating of 27% sadly confirms that most audiences are pretty much boneheaded. I don’t always agree with the critics’ scores but usually if a film has high critical ratings and a low audience score, that means I’ll like it. This movie was no exception. A slow burn that I guess is too much to handle for most TikTok addled brains, with masterful storytelling, acting, direction, and music. The theme of a non-white spouse rubbing up against generations of colonialism and bigotry ramps up the tension, and the plot gradually becomes apparent to anyone paying attention. Any fan of Robert Aikman’s “strange stories” will find much to enjoy here. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Joseph K One of the worst movies I've ever seen.. absolute waste of time. Save yourself the trouble.. and flip through Netflix for an hour and half and you'll have better spent your time than watching this slow train wreck. To top it off.. even the writers admit to it being hot garbage, but just abruptly ending it for no apparent reason in the middle of a scene with no resolution, thought or closure. 0/5 Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
