I was drawn to this movie as a queer person myself and also due to the fact that it is an A24 film with a star studded cast. However, I think this film tried too hard to be something different and deep.
To start off, I had no idea what the characters were saying 75% of the time. I needed subtitles so badly, their accents were so difficult to understand. Additionally, the film lacks so much context, and when it does give some, it does so in such a -blink and you'll miss it- type of way.
Things just happen so quickly and inexplicably and I was left confused and unsettled for most of the movie. I feel like you really have to analyze things and apply meaning to the symbolism, and personally that's just not something I like to do TOO extensively when watching a movie. I go the theater to relax and have a good time, not sit there confused and forced to do mental jumping jacks for two hours. Perhaps it is a personal preference or maybe I am too dumb for this movie, but I did not enjoy it in the slightest.
The characters are not interesting and their development is not satisfying. There's no romance despite it focusing on a relationship for the most part. A good portion of the movie is composed of trippy dream-like sequences which are uncomfortable to watch. Overall I hated this movie and could not wait for it to be over. I paid $16 to watch this and regret it so much. In today's economy, I hate leaving the movie theater disappointed and longing for enjoyable cinema.

Great film, the start was slow and it took a minute for me to become interested. However once the drama starts it's very interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
A perfect mix of thrills and humor, not scary at all. The characters are depicted as wealthy carefree young adults with relatable traits.
The ending is perfect and will leave you with your mouth open in shock. It does not take itself too seriously and has fun which is refreshing. The film is just under and 2 hours and that's the perfect length for a quick movie night if you're in the mood for a campy fresh take on horror.
