[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Born to Fly?
Honestly, Born to Fly would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Born to Fly's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Born to Fly last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Born to Fly actually is?
Just got out of Born to Fly and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Born to Fly?
Director clearly thought Born to Fly was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
