Genius. Idiot. You Decide.
Loud obnoxious, pointless movie with a loud, obnoxious score.

Curious though, being a writer in this genre yourself, was it a case of a bombastic and nuanceless score ruining the story, or a bombastic and nuanceless score simply being true to a bombastic and nuanceless script?
It's amazing to me how different people can see a movie so differently. While the acting was fine, I thought this was one of the worst written and directed movies I've ever seen. Nearly everything in it was cranked all the way up to ten, lacking subtlety, nuance, and featuring a relentlessly uninteresting narrative and characters that were impossible to root for. If there was a point to be made in this movie, it was made with a sledgehammer. The music only added to that effect.My favorite original score of 2019, easily. Absolutely brilliant work by Lopatin. The way that score is weaved into the movie gave me 10/10 anxiety for the entire 2 hours. Safdie brothers are exceptionally gifted at creating tension, and hoping they keep collaborating with the same composer.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that was the reason for the walkouts. I wanted to leave after the first twenty minutes because it was simply a horrible movie, but those I went with wanted to stay.even heard of walkouts as it was too instense an experience.
Hopefully the composer doesn't check VI Control
Not sure piling on is a good creative choice.Curious though, being a writer in this genre yourself, was it a case of a bombastic and nuanceless score ruining the story, or a bombastic and nuanceless score simply being true to a bombastic and nuanceless script?
