My review · Reviewed 12/22/2025

I was not a fan of the director's other recent works but I decided to give this one a shot and I am glad that I did as it is unlike any other movie that I can think of. I think the genius of this film is that it has you pondering a variety of themes and moral questions, until you don't. Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons hit it out of the park.
