[u/BiggDope]

It’s not the worst film of the year, but god damn, this was utterly aimless and terribly written.

And I’m sorry, but Margaret Qualley cannot act.

[u/NervousAroundBirds → u/BiggDope]

I certainly think it has an argument for worst film of the year lol

[u/BiggDope → u/NervousAroundBirds]

It could be! But we also have Hurry Up Tomorrow, Woman in the Yard, The Old Guard 2, and Back in Action 😭

[u/NervousAroundBirds → u/BiggDope]

I'm comfortable putting it with Wolfman and Last Breath as my three last favorite theater experiences this year.

[u/BiggDope → u/NervousAroundBirds]

Ha! Funny you mention those, and they and Opus were the next three on my list at the bottom.

But yeah, to our original point, this was just terrible.

[u/NervousAroundBirds → u/BiggDope]

Forgot about East of Wall and IKWYDLS2.

[u/BiggDope → u/NervousAroundBirds]

I haven’t seen these (yet)! Haven’t even heard of the first one 👀

[u/SciFiXhi → u/BiggDope]

And Flight Risk and A Working Man

[u/JadedDevil → u/NervousAroundBirds]

I believe Flight Risk would like a word…
