The world sucks, we get it.

Let’s do it, let’s talk about it, let’s talk about my most anticipated of 2026, let’s talk about Tom Cruise, let’s talk about the masters at work. At its core this film hates you, it hates the world, the people in it, and those in charge. It gives a despicable depiction of people who should be caricatures yet it leaves you constantly waiting for a punchline that never comes; these are real people, this is real life. So much happens in this film that blew me away, the leaps it makes to entertain are admirable, the efforts made to make this the most unique film of Iñárritu’s career, the lengths Tom Cruise goes to embody this character; masterful. Where it lost people is in its bleak understanding of how the world will not be getting better, this isn’t a satirical attack against climate change, this is the cautionary view of how we’re already too far gone. Where the divide is placed is in its humor, this is a very funny film with top shelf bits and hilarious performances, yet it demands a serious perspective the script nor actors want to give, it’s a beautiful symbiosis that created a wholly unique experience. It will be said to death but Tom Cruise is the man, he’s sensational, John Goodman has expressions in this film I don’t think any other actor could make, you entirely forget Jesse Plemons is even in this film yet he steals the show with every scene, but Riz Ahmed? That’s the winner right there, that’s the Oscar. Speaking of the Academy let’s go ahead and give Chivo another Oscar, it’s exhausting to constantly mention how well shot these films are but man this one is gorgeous. One thing about Iñárritu that captivates me is how he conducts an audience for ensemble scenes, there are some truly great ones here, but even with that this is a lot, like all his films it isn’t perfect, maybe I wanted it to be but ultimately the misunderstood master at work will continue to be misunderstood. Don’t listen to the critics, we don’t negotiate with terrorists. 4.5/5

fuck yall gringos now i understand why you don’t like this movie THAT FUCKING PLAY IS ABOUT YOU

I thought it was a bit too directionless at times but did a great job making me laugh and harrowing at the same time

At the start loved it. Went to a play. Was confused and it kinda ruined it. When found out it was all real it made the film amazing

Tom Cruise is actually acting again. Hooray
