POSITIVES
Love the idea of a self-aware satirical gen z style whodunnit. The commentaries and dialogue tackles just about most issues and discourse surrounding the current social climate.
Where the plot goes are a series of narrative whiplash. Yeah. It constantly grabs your attention and will keep you guessing.
The cast sells their characters quite effectively, even in very unflattering ways. Kudos to Maria Bakalova, Myha'la Herrold, Chase Sui Wonders, Amandla Stenberg, Rachel Sennott, Pete Davidson, and Lee Pace.
Visually the cinematography and camera work do an impressive job of putting you inside a mansion of a house that doesn't have lights and power. That feeling of being lost and confused is on point.
That final conclusion and reveal. For what this movie is about, I've gotta say that it's just the perfect way to end things.
NEGATIVES
The first 20, 30, 45, 65, 80 minutes can be so obnoxious and frustrating to put up with. Oh wait...
I wanted to yell at the screen "What are you doing?!!!" as I did a facepalm and rolled my eyes so much at the terrible decisions these characters were making. It just seemed too unbelievable to me.
Why am I watching a whole movie with such pretentious, idiotic, and toxic characters?!
Wait, this is a satire right? Because if it's not, then there's way too much cringe in what was said and done by the characters. So many embarrassing and disappointing moments that make me concerned with how damaged Gen Z is.
Could this movie be too cynical and unfair perhaps?
