I've only seen this once in the theater but I remember it being really good. Jeff Bridges is a genius.

I have always enjoyed seeing Florence Pugh in movies, but I've never seen a Florence Pugh movie I've liked

I don't think it's fair to say the movie has a twist.

Also, Pugh is clearly the best actor alive right now. She's at the top of her game and is just a revelation and a joy to watch.
LMAO c'mon man
We've already established you don't know what you're talking about in this arena. I'm right.

I love watching him, even if I wouldn’t give him the vote for best actor out there.
Plemmons is great. But he's not in the best actor conversation.
Of course he is!

People are gonna watch Killers of the Flower Moon (not Joe, because of his disorder) and be like "wow, Jesse Plemons is a great actor" like it's some kind of surprise.

Plemons is great. But where's the great movie where he doesn't play the straight man, allowing others to do weird things around him? It's a tough job, no knock, but it's off the mark to me to talk about him as greatest living actor

Totally. Also he's lifeless in Power of the Dog. Pugh has yet to give a performance as uninspired as that one.
