This movie takes a new meaning in a post Epstein political landscape. What if the Pizzagate antivax nutjobs were right and the smug neoliberal pharma reps were wrong? Great movie, funny, thought provoking, and unsettling.

Couple of laughs, pretty by the books though.

Watched it because I saw an instagram reel of one of the scenes that made it look alot better than it is.

The main guy reminded me of Jeff Winger from Community (ambiguous)

For such a bizarre, creative, and sexually explicit movie it never felt like it was trying too hard or being self-indulgent. The art-nouveau setting was a perfect backdrop to get us immediately comfortable with seeing a plot so unconventional and strange; despite the craziness of what goes on in this movie it always felt like a somewhat natural progression. I really respect Lanthimos for making a movie so different from his previous works - it really shows his range as a director.

Entertaining, thought-provoking, and very funny.

(Note: I had to google nouveau and Lanthimos to spell them right)

No element of this was really exceptional but no element was done really poorly either. Maybe it feels formulaic because modern crime mysteries have been profoundly influenced by it, but that doesn't take away from the fact I was half rolling my eyes with the whole "seasoned detective and new hothead transfer start the job hating each other but bond through working on the case" thing.

Felt this way about Zodiac too for the most part - Fincher doesn't always do it for me I guess.

Also the name is fucking stupid Se(seven)en? Really?
