I feel like they added overly dramatic music to try and hide that this was a boring movie. There is an interesting story here, but I was left unsatisfied and confused. I didn’t understand Portman’s character at all, and would love if someone could explain.

There is no comedy in this movie I don't know why it's labeled as a dark comedy. To me, this story just never found its flow. I see the vision the director had, I just think it wasn't executed properly. Lots of scenes with questionable motives. It's great to see Portman again tho

What a long, drawn out snoozefest! I’ve never wanted something to be over quicker than I did this! All the characters are horrible people, and I didn’t really care about any of them. The plot is intriguing, if not awkward, but then nothing really happens for its 2 hr runtime.

Absolutely unnecessary movie. I came here from cinema Joe’s recommendation and I’m questioning his sanity because this was just BLAND AND BAD

So I guess the ‘camp’ went way over my head because I never laughed out loud while watching this but I think I was aware of its absurdity when dramatic ominous music queued at very weird moments; it’s just the disturbing weight of the relationship was always my main focus. I…

A disturbing tale with an extremely eerie score to power you through. Performances were just alright for me, nothing too memorable. More interested to learn about the real life story this was inspired by.

I went into this blindly. No idea what it was about & just pressed play because it was a new release. This story was disturbing. But I’m giving it a thumbs up because these actors played the roles well. Society failed this boy in unimaginable ways. Kind of heartbreaking & wild🤦🏽‍♂️

Charles Melton is the core of this film as exudes the essence of what it means to have your innocence and childhood stolen from you. Moore and Portman are phenomenal, and those damn harsh piano notes deserve a round of applause, too.

Great performances and directing in this film exploring acting and artifice along with repression and power. A surprising aspect of this film was its self-awareness and humor. Which was more or less a risky move given the subject matter. Well done overall and gently approached.

A very challenging watch but one that is very impactful. The performances are very quiet and understated, but incredibly moving. Many of my favorite moments were watching Portman slowly and subtly adopt the mannerisms of Moore’s character as she studies her subject.

I thought the cinematography was very interesting, with the subjects often being at the very edge of the frame. It made things feel consistently uneasy and off.

My biggest frustration is that I wish Elizabeth’s storyline and intentions were a bit clearer. I’ve seen a lot of discussion online, but it seems widely disagreed upon. I think with this tightened up, I would have really loved this.

i thought this was amazing. very meta at times but it was done very well. the showing of the cracks in a relationship beginning to widen was way more interesting and than seeing a movie about the total collapse of a relationship. and everyone acted their fucking asses off

very interesting movie. there’s a lot more there it feels like i would’ve missed something if i looked away and i could still feel myself wanting to watch it again. It’s a very complex story told from a refreshing perspective. the acting is phenomenal. it will leave you pondering

free this poor man from both of them, literally wtf

Te amo Julianne Moore

OKAY REGGIE WTF I DIDNT KNOW YOU VOULD EAT LIKE THAT. when she started yelling at him it felt too real and made me so uncomfortable. that lady is genuinely sick in the head and idc needs to be put down. and like the actress girl was freaking me out. but like slay charles.

Interesting film for Will Ferrell to put his name on

Clicked this movie out of curiosity and due to the 2024 Oscar nomination. Actors killed their roles.. However the movie really danced around adding more and more suspense without ever really giving hard truthful facts/conclusion. It was missing that sigh of relief. 6.8/10

Es raro, a primera vista no me gusto, me dejo confundida como si no hubiera visto nada, en la peli en si siento que no pasa mucho y al mismo tiempo si pero es bastante llana, los personajes igual, no se conoce mucho de la historia ni de los personajes y lo que se conoce no se sab
