I gave the exact same movie elsewhere in this thread. You're not alone
I DONT GET IT. It really feels like it celebrates abuse.
Only if you think the ending is a good one for Neman. I think it's a bad ending, where he gives in fully to self-abuse and abandons his crush, and even his dad to some extent, so he can keep forcing himself to try and be #1. The message, to me, is that it's a stupid way to live and totally not worth it.

Not a movie, but for me House of Leaves was awful. Most of the characters are extremely flat and we barely get to see them interact. The central gimmick of run-on footnotes and rabbit holes is more annoying than profound, even if it did tie into the themes well. The author also clearly has something against women, since I can't name a single female character who isn't a either sex object, a prostitute, or an adulterer. The horror atmosphere also didn't land for me, mostly because it's so surreal that I can't get invested in the characters as actual people.
I find it helps to avoid the hype trains surrounding new media releases, as well as anything after the teaser trailer.
Getting one’s expectations up usually results in the said media failing to live up.
Best to go in blind and make your own mind up afterwards!
Everything Everywhere all at once was just ok
Am I doing this for Big Mouth or is it really that awful? Seems like the only humour is shock stuff but the shock has long worn off. I can't even tell who it's meant for, kids who ignore the rating that might still learn something from it?
Yeah I liked it at first and then it turned into just trying to one-up themselves on grossness
Blazing Saddles. I barely laughed and turned it off when cowboys started farting.
