The science in Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Unpopular opinion: Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken 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 Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. 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.

The cinematography in Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
