This was a surprisingly funny read! But I have to ask: is the exhaustion truly interminable if it's interspersed with incendiary musicality? The world may never know 🧐

Thanks for the laughs, I will not watch this movie.

You’re asking the right questions! It might the movie’s biggest achievement: that it is both boring and exhausting at the same time. I don’t fully understand how that works, but hey, I guess Luhrmann does.

Thanks! (I think?) You’re right that we’ve been focusing on mainstream movies almost exclusively—I’d be interested in seeking out smaller releases too, if we could find the time. The problem has mostly been that this isn’t a full-time outlet for us, so we have to pick and choose. But, at least for me, I may have been picking too many movies that I knew I’d enjoy. What good is criticism if you only review what you like?
