If exposition were a contact sport, Gator Lake would be banned for life.

The cinematography in Gator Lake is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the Gator Lake performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Gator Lake actually is?
Just got out of Gator Lake and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

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

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Gator Lake?
Look, I wanted to love Gator Lake. 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.
