A couple of my friends took a bet on when I might fall asleep watching this...turns out the answer was about an hour and 10 minutes in. I'll definitely rewatch it on HBO Max because I'm a huge fanboy for Villanueve but this just could not hold me. I was reminded of seeing "You Were Never Really Here" a couple years ago where I felt all the parts were there to be a movie made just for me and yet the end result had me completely zoned out.


The only familiarity I have with this story is the Lynch movie, which loses me at a similar point. I could really relate to this Letterboxd review:

"not bad if u ever just feel like staring at the color orange and not feeling a single emotion for two and a half hours"
