Mountainhead Reviews

As the number one ai hater ever this did feel almost too on the nose in a way that kind of made me sick to my stomach but yk that’s exactly what I love about Jesse Armstrong’s writing. It didn’t exactly satiate my need for more succession content like I wished it was going to cause obviously it’s an entirely different world of characters, but the whole time I was lowkey hoping that there would be a big-kahuna-burger-esc call back to anything from succession, but that’s probably a little too tacky for Jesse Armstrong unforch. I definitely need to rewatch it cause I’m sure there was so many things I missed while I was trying to decode the weird tech bro speak but I for sure liked it.

I tried to stay awake, but the pacing and overall story sent me straight to 'Mountainbed'. The cast initially pulled me into watching, and the themes kept me waiting for something that ended up being nothing. Steve Carell, Cory Smith, and Ramy Youssef as billionaires were great choices, although the satire didn't really click with me, and the acting felt somewhat flat. I know the ultra-wealthy usually are ultra-weird, but it just felt unrealistic. Unlike the story, which felt extremely realistic, only predictably slow and underwhelming.

Ja du, får inte tillbaka den tiden ja la på denna. Förväntande mig massa messy i slutet men inget riktigt hände. Lite för straight film för mig. 3/10

Jaha 3,5/10

This is just not my kind of movie. It’s too pompous and over the top. It got a little better the second half but still a rough watch for me.

Wouldn’t watch it again but it had some pretty hilarious moments

Well, this was a bit nuts but also very realistic..? Steve Carell is so good, and honestly I think every one of the guys did a great job of representing billionaire A-holes in a very believable way. There’s some very funny bits, I really liked it.

2/10

So much potential. Great cast, good performances and an interesting concept. It just goes awry.

⭐️⭐️

just not my type of comedy

Could’ve been better, not always feeling real, funny overall, second half stronger.

2/5

It isn't saying anything new or groundbreaking but the cultural references and the pathetic yet despicable characters makes this a very satisfying watch

This one surprised me with feeling entirely unique, fresh, and brutally relative in this hilarious satire. It has sharp writing and good performances with a very notable cast. I’ve only watched one episode of Succession but I could right away point out the similarities.

It’s a psychological thriller, but I just couldn’t get into it. Too slow moving, and covering material that I just can’t relate to. Maybe billionaires would like it, but it’s a pass from me

He should stick to making Succession

Movie: 6/10
