“It’s a strange film, often funny, often stupid, and ultimately a cynical mess. The film takes a long time to get to the point and, when it does, it is pessimistic and narratively unsatisfying. I didn’t like the movie“, wrote one internet user on Twitter.
“I felt like I wasted my time. Building suspense for almost 2 hours to have such an unsatisfactory conclusion is genuinely very boring […] I predicted the plot 10 minutes later and it didn’t innovate at all“, shot another on the same social network.
