Even the popcorn looked bored during Elio.

If Elio was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Watched Elio so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Cried during Elio. Mostly at the ticket price.

Unpopular opinion: Elio is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love Elio. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Hot Take: Elio's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Elio performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Elio?
Director clearly thought Elio was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

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