POSITIVES…
As simple as the premise may seem, it really goes above and beyond what you should expect, and it’s much more entertaining because of that.
It’s a dark comedy. It’s got some genuinely laugh out loud moments. It’s awkwardly funny?
The plot progression can get hypnotizing to watch, as you’ll really want to see the whole thing play out.
Even for it’s old black & white square aspect ratio look, there are some arresting visuals to behold in this.
Prepare for some visual shots to just stick with you.
Robert Pattinson is fantastic in this, and really captures a man who is brought to the brink of insanity.
Willem Dafoe is amazing in this, and has several of the best monologues you would find in movies this year.
The antagonistic chemistry that Pattinson and Dafoe has together is so damn entertaining to see in the movie. They make this film worth watching.
“what” <- love that scene
It’s bonkers.
NEGATIVES…
It’s bonkers.
Willem Dafoe’s cadence and delivery of his lines and jargons makes me wish I was using closed captioning.
The old style black & white look and square aspect ratio is not for everybody.
There are pacing and editing quirks for some of the scenes.
P.S….
