Actors weren’t really the issue. But the writing here was f***ing abysmal. The coworker hangout felt so f***ing phony, and the job even more so. They don’t bother developing any character in a way that doesn’t get completely contradicted at some point in the story. How did anyone care about any character throughout this?
They were all for different reasons imperfect and not honest about what they wanted in love and romance . Nikki the least deserving character of suffering suffered the most
I’m not saying the movie genius or perfection by any means but how miserable are you to hate ? “ loser rape fantasy “ it’s quite the opposite . It’s the horror of loss of free will . It’s extremely dark same as invisible man was a lot to watch
Yea man I know it was meant to be a critique. Doesn’t mean they executed it well at all. Plenty of better movies for that as you pointed out
Can’t believe this is the movie that might pack up Boots Riley’s career. General audiences are braindead
Oh you a f***ing moron . Even if obsession wasn’t in theaters the idea that they are seeing obsession and would have magically watched boosters instead

Well no I pointed that general audiences are braindead. Clearly this was for the normies more than Boots work

But how miserable are you to hate on the success of a small budget movie ? No one’s like “ best picture its greatest movie ever “

You don’t think you sound pretentious and self righteous?

I’m miserable bc I didn’t enjoy a movie? This movie of all things is the indicator of being miserable? I’ve seen this movie 50 other times this just happens to be the worst version I’ve seen
Why I gotta like the “I wish I had a free use f*** doll” movie? Yall are freaks man

You been posting itt for 2 pages straight, 40+ minutes of your opinions about why you don’t like the movie. You obviously expect or intend some sort of back and forth or engagement, and then you go ‘oh so I HAVE to like the movie?’
like no, but what do you want. You’re posting on a public forum

Bye!
Stationary camera. Established shots. Center framing for 99% of it. What am I missing that you saw and I didn’t?
He could’ve replied to this to further the discourse but nah let’s double down on calling me miserable lmao
I’m asking him questions and he goes “what do you expect? Discourse bothers you?” But ain’t responding to s*** just crying like a baby
Round 3 in a few hours with some friends, should be fun since they've not yet seen it

If he gets packed up by a 26 year olds debut then that’s on him bud. S*** was only theater exclusive for 2 weeks too.
The people on box office theory are adamant that a digital release doesn’t cut legs off. But still interesting to see
One of the ugliest movies I’ve seen in a theater. No idea how people kept interest in this just from a visual standpoint. This was filmed like a sitcom nearly. Not a single creative moment in the entire filming of this.
Not a single? You didn’t think the sound design was creative? You didn’t think the way she moved was creative? You don’t have to like it, but let’s not pretend this was an average film.
This is loser rape fantasy adjacent kino. Not my cup of joe
I think you missed the point if you thought he was in it just for sex.

I was speaking on the camera work. No, absolutely not. From what you mentioned— if you think a iPhone text notification at max volume to cut the silence is creative, or if her doing Jim Carreys The Grinch walk out of the shadow was too, then more power to you
