i tried with this one but found it insufferable and boring. Im convinced Lanthimos was pranking the studio when he did this movie.

Not sure how to even begin gathering my thoughts on this. I think I liked it? It’s definitely a turn from Poor Things. It’s more of a Killing of a Sacred Deer vibe, but sillier, and if it were made into three very bleak, very messed up episodes of the Twilight Zone.

What was it “about”? Who the hell knows. One thing for sure is that it features Jesse Plemons operating at the peak of his powers. He’s putting on a clinic here.

You should never watch The Fall Guy. You'll fucking hate it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Finally started this. Remember Argo loving it, but couldn't find his review.
