So I have some theories about this movie, and I understand they may be controversial to many. Firstly, (not a theory) I had a phenomenal time with this movie. Like genuinely, I really liked it. But I also don’t want to spoil anything, so I will refrain in that regard. But secondly, I think this movie is getting wildly mixed reviews because of the audience it is hitting. In many aspects, this feels like an A24 film. A smidge experimental, a little vague, conceptual with its messages. A24 has never thrived because it’s forced to the mainstream. It hits an audience that is interested in what A24 is. By casting Harry Styles, a One Direction member, as the lead, and the crazy amount of ads for this movie, it’s drawing an audience wildly different than what it is. Thirdly, people are upset because it has plot holes…I don’t think it actually has plot holes. It had intentional ambiguity in a world left to explore. We could see a prequel. We could see a sequel. We could get documentaries about it. There’s so much here that is left for interpretation, but it’s not unanswered. It’s open ended the way many books are. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this one. Go in knowing nothing and experience it for yourself!

Rating: 4.5/5 - 9/10 - Highly Recommend

@copeland1994 I agree, this movie really hit the spot and I am glad I could see it in cinema. I never watched this kind of movie on big screen and there was lot of emotion. There were some plot holes from my perspective but in this kind of movie, not everything is explained to every little detail to get imagination going for long time after ending. Loop hole for me is Death of Frank by his wife... There is no indication that she would have reason to do that,

@Dorthonin I was thinking the same, it felt like Frank's wife killed him out of nowhere but thinking about it, I believe the wife figured something out at the dinner at Alice & Jack House. She side eye him. And then put two and two together. idk could be a theory :thinking:

After a second watch, I still really enjoy this premise. In my opinion, it is so intentionally and beautifully crafted. It stands out as being a movie I will regularly think of for the foreseeable future.

Third watch and I still very much love this world. The delivery is so crisp. I crave the cinematography of this movie for some reason, and I need more like it.
