Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Neglected knows its audience.
“The projector's on fire. Literally.”

Even the popcorn looked bored during Neglected.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Neglected.

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

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

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Neglected?
Everyone praising the Neglected performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

The cinematography in Neglected is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Neglected 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.
