I didn’t love this as much as everybody else did, mostly because I thought it lacked any sort of subtlety. It’s pretty blunt and upfront about what it’s trying to say, inasmuch as it’s clearly about the way capitalism uses and consumes people until they’re destroyed before spitting them back out.
Amidst all the praise, I was just left thinking it was a pretty weak year for movies in 2024, and I’m not sure this would have walked away with the trophies in a different time.
It’s a fine Friday night raunchfest, but I’m not sure I see what it seems like so many others do.
