Alpha treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Alpha.

If whispered monologues were currency, Alpha would settle the national debt.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Alpha.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Alpha actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Alpha. 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.

Unpopular opinion: Alpha is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched Alpha 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.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Alpha?
Just got out of Alpha and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
