Todd T @2045ASI 4h I would ignore the negative reviews, this was a very good movie about a troubled young man adjusting to a life of trauma and fame, then running from those things. You have to pay attention to all the subtle and unspoken emotions and dysfunctions that take place in this film, and how they all interplay with each other, which isn't always easy. But if you pick up on all the subtleties, it is one of the better films put out by A24, which puts out a lot of great stuff. Movies like this which get panned by the critics make me realize critics are not a good source of info about films. Critics like what they think they are supposed to like. If you look at the actual viewer reviews (because our reputation and financial livelihood doesn't come from liking what we think the public think we are supposed to like) the reviews are very good.

The story is beautiful, touching and tragic. We can all see some of our own lives in Sidney's. I think we can all look back at events that are turning points in our lives, some for better and some for worse. Some we cause ourselves and some are out of our control.

You find yourself understand ing each character and getting pulled into their lives almost violently at times! Brilliant performance by each and every character! The blending of all of their lives with the final outcome it’s gonna stay with you forever stick in your heart like a thorn! But don’t let that stop you because it’s a story that needs to be told!

See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Jan 21 It had a wonderful cast but it wasn't what I'd thought it would be. When the writer goes missing I was thinking about a kidnapping situation or possibly murder. This was a little bit of a let down for me. There was plenty of drama but not much else. The ending was sad and normally I'd cry but I didn't have that kind of connection to these characters. Tim Treakle See more Gina P @Dogrsqr Jan 6 I liked this movie. Made me think about how creative people's life work is constantly judged by others and how that judgement can shape their lives. There are really many messages in this movie if you bother to look for them. I do like all the actors/actresses playing the major roles. See more Read all reviews
