I wasn't really feeling it at first. Everyone was a cliche, not exactly interesting or original characters that had anything fresh to say... Kind of generic, even a bit boring.
But by the time I was halfway through the movie I was super invested. Characters grew and evolved, became more fleshed out. The dialogue went on to become clever and extremely philosophical, even.
Not only that, but I felt things I didn't think a modern movie would ever made me feel ever again, considering the situation we're in as a society right now.
Heartwarming? Wholesome? Who knew this movie would be like this. I sure didn't. But I'm so glad I stuck around.
Best 2022 movie by far. What a gem.
This is the "murder mystery" movie that deserved all the attention garbage like Glass Onion got. It's also the "family comedy" that deserved all the attention of every theoretical "comedy" movie that came out in recent years - all mostly vapid garbage.
If anything, this movie's fairly low (in my opinion) rating and undeservingly low popularity proves we're lost as a species, and there's no hope. If something this good gets swept under the rug, while every generic, mind-numbingly stupid Disney / Marvel / Star Wars reboot or remake or show gets all the views.
If I have to complain and take a point - it'll be for the predictable forced drama in the third half. Every formulaic show does this, there's always a moment near the end where the main cast has to have a fight, then reunite, and it feels forced, and in the case of an otherwise original and fresh movie - it felt highly unnecessary. And disappointingly predictable. Nothing else about this movie was that predictable, so my standards were higher for the ending. But I won't spoil it for you.
Oh, and the ending was garbage. Another 3 points for building all that up, all that originality, and ending on cringe. But again... I assume the normies will actually like it, and that was the point...
I don't know, I guess it's mixed feelings after all.
