SEEN 24 AUG · FIRST DAY FIRST SHOW
Solid OTT watch — exactly the kind of film that works better at home than it might have in a theatre. Nothing here demands the big screen, but nothing here disappoints either. The central performance carries scenes that would otherwise feel fairly routine. Dialogue writing has some genuinely sharp moments scattered through otherwise functional scenes. Background score occasionally oversells emotional beats that didn't need the extra push. A comfortable, well-made film without much ambition beyond being comfortable and well-made. Not a must-watch but a perfectly pleasant way to spend an evening.
WHERE
First day first show
That's a fair point about the pacing, didn't notice it on my first watch.
The pacing in the first hour is genuinely excellent.
Underrated performance from the supporting cast here.
That one long take in the middle — did anyone else notice it?
Honestly the trailer did this film no favours.
Seen it twice now and picked up new details both times.
Everyone slept on this when it released.
I had a slightly different reaction but I see where you're coming from.
Good call on the rating, that's about where I landed too.
Still thinking about the ending days later.
Underrated performance from the supporting cast here.
The interval block alone is worth the ticket honestly.
The climax divided everyone I know. Where did you land on it?
Completely agree — that scene stuck with me too.
A rare one that respects the audience's intelligence.

Some of the VFX was rough but the story carried it.
