Even the popcorn looked bored during Taxi Driver.

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

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Taxi Driver actually is?

Director clearly thought Taxi Driver was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Taxi Driver?

Honestly, Taxi Driver would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Taxi Driver is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Everyone praising the Taxi Driver performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
