Style, no substance. See it for free only.


Was just watching it. Dime a dozen stuff with very little story. Only the opening scene was good.

Yup, definitely story is the weakest element here


If anyone's interested, I reviewed the movie on my youtube channel. Appreciate any feedback. Trying to improve -https://youtu.be/sIpuq9ORZhc

Fair assessment.

I’ve think it’s the other way around: substance over style. The movie has a relatively low budget and small cast, and there are a lot of details deliberately left un-seen . The viewer has to fill in the blanks . There are no excessively gory scenes, no nudity, no explosions etc

Felt the same about Hereditary. It's all style with no substance. This had a bit more substance though, I liked the crime noir angle.

I thought there was some substance to it and the style was awesome.
