Good movie. Could’ve had more of one half and less of another, and there’s something about these characters I just wasn’t able to find a handhold on, but overall had a very good time

Has a lot of the same strengths and pitfalls as the last one, down to the disorienting first 2/5ths-ish that gets stronger as the move goes on. I’ve also got a bone to pick with the visual design of this thing - the weird dreamy lighting and the overuse of closeups

Oh yeah and the underwater part is the best part

the least believable part of this is that they were angry about more Robert Pattinsons

Impressive craft on display. Tonally a little incredible, if difficult to swallow. There was something frustrating about this movie - maybe a lack of connection with the characters, especially after that first get together. I was waiting for a moment that would tie everything together: the wife, the friend, the motif of addiction, the gun, the drums, the dagger. Some of these elements find a resolution and others don’t need one, but as things stand all I got out of the movie was these waves of tension and complexity that never quite broke, and it left me feeling just sorta… empty?
