Just tried to watch it. After an hour I turned it off cos I thought it was trying too hard and a bit pretentious.

Do you know what happened in the end?

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'd already had the ending spoiled, and after watching an hour I thought the ending was a bit obvious.

Well no wonder you didn't like it if it was spoiled for you.

Having the ending spoiled doesn't ruin a movie. There are many movies I've watched repeatedly, because it's a well-told story. Casablanca, It Happened One Night, Goonies, Gremlins, A Christmas Story, For a Few Dollars More... And many more.

It's not just that, it's the whole style of it. Just found it pretentious, and if the ending is the only thing that makes the film worth it, I don't think it's a good film
