This is how I felt about the main cast aside from Anne Hathaway.

Ewan, the son, the daughter, the random girl, and their next-door neighbor all felt like they were acting in separate movies.

That giant snake scene was incredible

Finally saw this was really fun

Crowd was only old boomers when I watched man they were rocking with it HARD

this s*** is going to explode once it hits streaming.

glad its going to at least make a little profit.

DRM supremacy continues

seems like a movie that got butchered by test screenings, that's my hunch anyway

it did

Ewan, the random girl, and the neighbor were from a Disney movie. The son was from a Spielberg movie. The daughter was from The Myth of the American Sleepover. And Anne Hathaway was in A Quiet Place film.

gave me Junji ito vibes

I feel like I read very little about what this movie is actually about from any of the people talking about it. Shame. Probably my favorite popcorn flick since Alien Romulus.

I disagree entirely. They did a fantastic job with the pace and runtime. I was ecstatic at how brisk this was. I'd also love to see the Director's Cut obviously, but so much of the film's depth being implied and suggested really worked for me. I had a ton to chew on emotionally and thematically and ideologically. There's no lack of substance for the action being so highly concentrated.

Somebody raised the point that the upbeat ending was an obvious studio note, and I really don't see that. The movie is dedicated to Mitchell's late father. The whole thing is a carpe diem cautionary tale meant to break down the barriers between these people who wanted to escape each other via writing/alcohol/space/headphones etc. That she saves these people via communication is a call to action. Like maybe the specific cookout closing shot, but I really think people are letting their expectations run wild. I don't need to know if the second version of the wire left and was free to be a writer. I don't need to see the boy get a girlfriend. This movie is completely functional the way it is presented.

Great comment

I've been thinking nonstop about this one. Got some tears out of me. Might as well post some more thoughts since this thread is kaput lol.

The film showing how the disgruntled neighbor is the only one capable of pointing out what is making him unhappy. But all there is unhappiness so he doesn't feel any better. And he's a very lonely character ultimately. This seems like the core of his interactions with people. Meanwhile these ostensibly nice people can't share their problems even among themselves. The wife's solution is to meet the thing head on. I'll burn down your house. I'll leave my family. The husband's solution is to ignore it. I won't tell you I lost my job or I read your book. I'll invoke religion as a deus ex machina which lets me throw my hands up. And he bridges the gap with the neighbor with a handshake and an offer to help clean up. And then she ultimately bridges they gap by saving his life by just telling him something. And he looks like life is worth living in that moment. He's not shooting drunkenly and dying alone anymore.

And this is all a strategy of evolution. It's more successful version of Disclosure Day. Look how love and hate are so much easier to read and express in a survival situation. Empathy and compassion is a strong, durable thing that. Communication is a strong, durable thing. The survival of the fit isnt not about being the best killer. It's about adapting or dying. And these people adapt to live.

Mitchell also doesn't use the past as a boomer nostalgia trap. He's showing these things have been consistent for hundreds of millions of years. We are faced with similar problems now and then and farther back. And here is a healthier way to deal with them. It's beautiful!
