The reviews are exaggerated. It was a good movie and in a situation where people don't know what is happening around them amidst chaos they WILL turn on each other. Humans are naturally skeptical. No one would know who they could trust. The idea that everyone would come together and kumbaya like Barbie princess charm school, while nice, is unrealistic. You cannot fault a movie for depicting reality or sending a message. That is its purpose. I think the ending is the only mucky thing. Realistically, if something of that scale happened anywhere it is unlikely that the true story will come to light even when it is time to document it in history. Only the people responsible will know what happened. That being said everyone was annoying except Ruth's father. I don't really mind Ruth because most of the times when she's being cinical/mean, the situation calls for it but sometimes it was extra for no reason. Clay is kind of foolish and so is his son. This is the most hateable Julia Roberts' character I've ever come across but I understand her. She's mostly scared and hates people. Rose is idiotic. While I understand that she doesn't feel heard or understood, that is not an excuse to run away like that in a crisis. Normal children can identify a crisis even when they are not told. Rose just like Ginny from "Ginny and Georgia" or Devi from "Never Have I Ever" embodies a trend of portraying American children as rude, insensitive, abnormally dumb to the point where it's concerning, thoughtless and incredibly selfish. At some point, you aren't flawed you're just a bad/extremely dumb person. I think the ending was just annoying and triggered an irrational response from the one-star copy-paste epistles, but it was a good suspenseful movie. It has an important lesson. If you don't get annoyed easily, it's a good watch.🖤

I love the idea of intimacy with a particular group and their struggles and stories and LIGHT UP THE SKY has that
