madi c i loved this film. i do wish there was more meaning to it, but it was very good nether the less. had me guessing for what was coming next, i really enjoyed it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Audience Member Ignore like the plague. Idea is good, but has no explanation to what's going on or why. And it just ends after a weird 1-2 minute long scene that doesn't help clear anything up. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Jake J Most importantly the movie was entertaining, and is a great example of a thriller which causes you to question everything and look for answers. Whilst the movie did have many plot holes and random moments, most of the key parts of the story make sense if you watch an analysis video. All in all a fun and interntaining thriller which, whilst has its issues, is recommended by me to people who love complex stories and psychological thrillers. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Audience Member A science-fiction/horror hybrid starring Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots They play a couple that just want a place to call home But they might end up getting too much of a good thing All of us want that vivarium or place of life Jenna and Tom choose a suburban neighborhood called Yonder to one day raise a child Unfortunately they find themselves trapped like rats when they discover they can’t leave and keep going in circles Both of them are forced to stay in Yonder and make the most of it then things change when an actual child comes into their lives via a delivery box It’s a moody experience to say the least But Eisenberg and Poots are good together as they struggle to adapt to the life they imagined but not the one they were prepared for; suburbia, marriage, and parenthood are all equally frustrating The last act gets quite surreal A devastating conclusion pretty much sums up how we as people can get suckered into a false dream, it inspires reflection on the nature of reality, and the struggle for freedom in a homogeneous controlled world commercializing our idea of happiness There is social commentary about parasitism, shackles of domestic life, and a descent into suburbanite madness It could’ve been better though Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review matthew C Depressing. Heavy on allegory. Rich Hollywood stars despising common people and ordinary life is a theme I guess. Also, looooong and boring. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Harry R I could not recommend this movie, and absolute bore with no explanation to anything, yes hidden messages but even those are mundane. Whatch it and waste your time that simple, as they did raising some thing. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
