hugeasmammothOct 31, 2025Fineeee I’ll kidnap and torture Jeff Bezos 🤷♂️ For legal purposes this is a joke meant to illicit a dumb response of humor. The author of this review does not mean any ill harm to a corporate executive at this time. It is satirical in nature only, thank you.

What a trip The comedy is exactly my style — not punchline humor, but the kind where you’re laughing at the characters themselves and the absurd, deadpan way they move through the world. Don blew me away (; My only real gripe is the spaceship interior. For a supposedly “superior race,” the…
George likedBugonia7.5 - I think it will be interesting to see how the general themes of this film ages. All in all I think this is one of his stronger films in terms of concept and thought provoking nature. I found it very compelling. The ending is up for contention
heaven likedBugoniaWasn't sure what to rate this between like/love. Really enjoyed how it had me questioning constantly if she was an alien or they were just crazy conspiracy theorists. Also thought the commentary about humanity was great.

Sydney likedBugoniaTorn between liking and loving it. But definitely unique and insane plot. Will be thinking about this one for a while!

There’s always a message in every movie and this one had several, if you can read in between the lines of course 🤭
NYNehizena Young-EdoTruly was an interesting movie and I was surprised at the ending. I really enjoyed this movie. Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are amazing.
ACAnthony ConteJesse Plemons is Ted, a conspiracy theorist who believes Emma Stone is an alien. This is by far my favorite film in a LONG time. Go see this before it leaves theaters.👍

Plemons and Stone, who has become the director’s Oscar-winning muse, are terrifyingly real. And the allegory of a civilization in crisis lured like lemmings off this or that cliff of lunacy lands hard.

What the film does so well, though, is bring enormous compassion to a story that initially seems to despair for the world.

Lacking distinctive social commentary, meaningful character development, or a salient environmental angle, the update feels all but incapable of speaking to the moment.
