Truly was an interesting movie and I was surprised at the ending. I really enjoyed this movie. Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are amazing.

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.
