A lacklustre story, giving you the impression it could have been written by AI. People praise the visuals; however, I’m sick and tired of modern movies feeling the need to make every single scene either golden hour or blue night moon. It is as if a film student followed a specific guide on “how to make your film cinematic”. The writing was appalling. Conversations lacked any depth and didn’t feel natural at all. The only decent aspects of the movie were the wardrobe and artistic direction for the locations. Everything else, such as the lighting, makeup, script, and acting all leave something to be desired. Lastly, three separate characters were completely able-bodied and fully composed cognitively and were able get one final heartfelt message out before taking their final breath and dying - How gruesomely cliché. Like I said, it’s as if AI wrote this entire movie. Don’t waste your time on this modern slop that they dare to call filmmaking.

They focused so much on cinematography for this movie that they forgot to create a compelling story. Lily-Rose Depp’s performance was like Shaun of the Dead in some scenes, drawing laughter in what were supposed to be profound moments. Much of the acting falls short. The storytelling was lacklustre all around. Excellent camera work, lighting, and wardrobe. Spoiler: The absolute nonsense of him being too preoccupied to notice the sun is rising and then dying is laughable beyong content. The movie industry deserves its failings if this is the tripe it has to offer with an 80%+ rating on rotten tomatoes.
