    Thought this was really good with my only gripe being the first half noticeably better or maybe more interesting aside from the marble scenes.

    I feel like this movie is way more mainstream accessible than I was expecting

    It’s paced really well despite being so long and shot so beautifully

    I don’t think this is a spoiler but the use of archival footage was great too

    Started listening to that Big Picture podcast on the drive home and the “it’s an allegory for the making of the movie itself” unlocks it for me

    Yeah my very simplified reading was that it’s about a director getting a movie financed and sneaking in more personal themes that the backers weren’t expecting. However, there’s more there than just being a movie about making movies

    Cannot tell you how pleasurable the intermission made this for me. Put those in every film, I don’t care if it’s 90 minutes. A little break to go get a hot dog is so nice in the middle of a film rather than the beginning.

    The movie was good too

    Movie is very good. I might try and catch it again in theaters.

    At intermission currently. So far this is a 10/10. This soundtrack is remarkable

    Got out of it a while ago. 10/10, no notes. Seeing a lot folks not digging how dark the second half gets but I think it’s duality worked pretty nicely.

    Also the bad press that came out yesterday for the AI use (though minuscule, it seems) is pretty wild. Brody’s performance is exceptional and folks online trying to disqualify him because of minor accent enhancements is a bit upsetting to see

    Did not know the director of this used to be an actor and was one of the psychos in Funny Games, that’s so good lol

    It's so confusing that the director looks like that.
