Oh, hey, it’s Blink Twice! I mean, The Menu. I mean, Midsommar. I mean, Don’t Worry Darling. I mean, Get Out. I mean-

Yes yes yes, we’ve seen variations of this movie before, but what’s makes Opus truly frustrating is that it only scratches the surface of its thesis or worse, shows no interest in digging deeper. Ayo Edebri is obviously infinitely talented, but even her performance felt a…

Hard to rate, hard to review. I don't think I've ever seen a cult story like this before. Apart from the music, eeriness, and acting, all of which were done brilliantly with a wild amount of enigmatic tension, nothing stood out like the premise. It knows you're expecting the traditional 'escape'…
I really wanted to love Opus. The premise is brilliantly strange—a reclusive pop superstar using a comeback album as a front for a cult? That’s a killer hook. And honestly, Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich are great; they both turn in compelling performances that almost make it work. But the movie…

"Teach them young and the world will be yours".♡ Terrible from start to finish. The film tried desperately to be something it's simply isn't, not even close. And none of its elements helped make it even remotely decent. The story was so weak and hollow and pretty much lacked-
3.6 - Holy disappointment. I typically love this subgenre. Good people in shady situations figuring out the mystery and fighting their way out (or maybe not). Midsommar, The Menu, Get Out, even last year’s Blink Twice, & surely many others all do this general idea infinitely better. It’s just…
This film was so creepy😱😱. And was much more elaborate than I first thought. I thought it was going to be a close midsummer (I still haven't watched that yet) but this film has great potential for sequel I think only because I feel like this story didn't have a clear end there is a lot more to…

First of all, Stan Twitter would tear this old sassy man and his music tf up. Secondly, I love Ayo, she’s so pretty, and I like watching her act and run. Third, EEEEEUUUUGHHHHWWWWWWWWW. Very The Menu, just not as good. VERY Midsommar, just not as scary. Don’t hate it though!
I really love Ayo, so I liked this more than I expected to! Kinda your typical cult movie that makes you feel weird and uncomfortable for majority of the movie. I was getting major Don’t Blink vibes at first. The ending really brought it all full circle and left you even more disturbed. Wasn’t as…

There are a lot of fascinating ideas Green is throwing into Opus, and it's obvious that this is a fully realized concept that he's worked on for years; not only in the script, but in the extra work he's done in fleshing out this world. Still, we don't see enough of that work come across in the finished product, and the ideas here come off as muddled, failing to connect with the audience beyond a superficial level.
Despite solid performances from Edebiri and Malkovich, Opus never takes off. It mostly meanders, relying on leaden expository monologues to move the plot, and rarely delivers on the promised horror of its atmosphere.
In a world that often rewards mediocrity where true artistic greatness is hard to come by, a work like Opus had the potential to be a defining movie of our current moment, but the film’s half-hearted swipes at celebrity culture are never sharp or incisive enough to get under the skin.
