The guy behind me made a loud, angry comment as credits rolled, and for good reason. This movie is just good enough to give you hope that it has some meaning and payoff and then denies it from you. There are so many almost interesting things that happen throughout. It also feels **so** slow. I've enjoyed slow movies like Drive My Car, Valhalla Rising, etc, but this felt like it was 2.5hr and I was shocked to see afterwards that it was 1h40m. It took like an hour to show what was in the trailer without adding basically any plot. It looked and sounded good, had decent acting. It was just so incredibly disappointing.

This is the Rabbit R1 of movies in the sense that it is barely reviewable because it fulfills almost none of the basic requirements you expect of a movie. This movie says nothing. It is incoherent. Literal bottom of the barrel garbage that is decently-shot so stuffy film bros will call it "art". Half of the movie is just a Phoebe Bridgers music video and I'm not even kidding lol. Style over substance to the extreme. It's like not even so bad it's good, it's just bad. Absolutely no redeeming qualities. Avoid.
