@AlexWolfe You’re in for the ride then, because my brain couldn’t stop thinking throughout the film! Well, besides the times when I laughed too hard from their comedic timing 🤣

@schwa I actually wrote the review talking about how baffling it was to choose Leo’s character as a focal point of the story. In my opinion, his character has nothing to offer to the story besides being a comedic relief.
@AlexWolfe It was such a surprise how much I love this film! I was so ready to hate the film and thought it’d be just an obligatory watch for me, and ended up the complete opposite! You have to be fully mentally prepared and awake to watch it though, because it relies heavily on dialogue and micro expressions to tell the story.

@jake4480 Sinners is great, but the tonal shift is too jarring, it felt like an entirely different story. I still believe One Battle After Another is worth watching, but you’ll definitely hate Leo even more after seeing the film! His character is just so messed up and unredeemable IMO. 😂
@schwa It definitely floored me with the cast’s performance alone, coupled that with a witty screenplay that grabbed my attention and never let go for a single second from start to finish, and I’m sure you can see why I love this uniquely remarkable film!
@jake4480 Everyone in my theater vibed with this so hard, I love the energy on that day so much! LMAO.
Hot take: I prefer Bugonia over Sinners and One Battle After Another, and I’d happily die on this hill.
@schwa Please do! I had such low expectations going in, as I rarely resonate with the director’s style and film choices. However, this film floored me. The ending is quite controversial, though, so be prepared to either love it or hate it.
@todor Finally found someone else who’s also disappointed with Dune: Part 2! The film clearly lacks depth and nuance, something that’s remarkably unique to the Dune series, offering only visual spectacles. They essentially reduced everything to the book’s ‘moral of the story’ punchline, neglecting the character struggles and debates throughout the story narratives. And I’m truly baffled how they’re planning to adapt Dune Messiah when they barely touched on Paul’s visions in the movie. I hate this “show don’t tell, visual storytelling only” era of Denis so much! It just doesn’t fit with Dune series that are so dense filled with discussions!
