Unpopular opinion: Primate is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Primate 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 Primate?
Honestly, Primate would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Primate?
Rewatched Primate 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.

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