I love a scheme! Also, just learned that Wes Anderson’s wife is Lebanese, which kinda clicks a few things into place about him

Inconsequential. Obviously, all the AI world ending shit is meant to be very small potatoes to the characters, but even their antics are not particularly engaging. And on top of that, this film is just not funny enough to keep itself afloat in the way the way In The Loop did.

I ire Emma Stone’s dedication to having no limits in her roles, because she is really going all out in this which was cool. I also really liked so many of Willem Dafoe’s line readings. Didn’t like most of the rest. There’s a lot of performances either so over the top it’s unbearable or so stilted it leaves me with nothing. I also think this film suffers from a strange sense of self importance that it never earns. I didn’t find most of this funny, amusing, nor stimulating. Sorry 🤷
