Best TV show this year, period. Actually best one since quite a while. Very true to the games. Congrats and keep it going!!

This film stands out as one of the most disappointing viewing experiences I’ve encountered in recent memory. It’s not just the story’s failure to engage; it’s the movie’s heavy-handed attempt to manipulate emotions in the absence of meaningful content or genuine human connection that leaves a particularly sour taste. The narrative hinges on a harrowing event, yet the aftermath is handled so poorly that any potential for impactful storytelling is lost. Instead of offering insight or a thoughtful reflection on the incident, the film leaves viewers with a sense of emptiness, as if the creators themselves hadn’t understood the story they were trying to tell. Moreover, the film’s apparent aim to evoke a strong emotional reaction from the audience feels unearned and cheap. It’s as if the creators decided that simply depicting a ‘horrible event’ would suffice to make the story meaningful. However, without proper context, follow-up, or any real exploration of the characters’ inner lives and the ramifications of the event, the movie fails to resonate on any meaningful level. It’s a missed opportunity to delve into the complexities of human emotion and the nuances of life’s challenges. In conclusion, I would recommend skipping this film. The narrative is not only unsatisfying but also leaves a lingering feeling of discomfort and disappointment. There are far more enriching stories out there that offer depth, authenticity, and a genuine connection to the human experience. In a world rich with storytelling possibilities, it’s unfortunate that this film opts for such a hollow attempt at capturing the audience’s attention. The ingredients listed on a bar of soap indeed offer more intrigue and substance than this film’s attempt at narrative depth. I'm also baffled by how such a poor movie got an Oscar nomination - has the Oscar's fallen that low?
