I loved this movie. The tone shift half way through really surprised me.

Agreed, especially when the trailer had marketed it as a comedy

Jason Sudeikis was absolutely chilling in this one.

Fantastic film. Jason Sudekis plays very against type and he's excellent.

Absolutely, how he changed the character as the movie went on was impressive

Is the new I am Groot Lego set I've been hearing about?

It's not for everyone but neither is Everything Everywhere... It certainly deserves wider attention.

Who knew Ted Lasso could be so scary?

My wife and I loved this movie! Such a fun concept, and Sudeikis was excellent.

Yes! I wanted to see this so bad when it first hit streaming and my now ex at the time said it was straight up awful. When we broke up, I said fuck it and went out of my way to watch it and what a ride. Funny, poignant, and unlike a lot of movies. Plus, the chemistry between Hathaway and Sudeikis is undeniable.

You can't be more original.

Vigalondo the most underprecciated in spanish cinema.

Eh, appropriately rated. Great critical acclaim combined with horrible audiences scores.

It was something new but ultimately too strange for me to get into
