Strange Darling should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.
“Straight to the compost bin.”

Hot Take: Strange Darling's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Strange Darling was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Strange Darling is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love Strange Darling. 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.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Strange Darling actually is?
Rewatched Strange Darling 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.
