Yeah, from what I've seen it looks great, it's just not a blockbuster or even trying to be one.

Looked cringe to me. Throwing on a wig doesn’t automatically make you a “serious actor”. And a bad wig at that. Like someone else said, the whole thing reeks of Oscar bait.

Probably could have been good, but casting Johnson seems insane knowing what Mark Kerr looked like.

A WIG is what you saw? I saw AI slop being repurposed as CGI.
