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

Hot Take: Dear You's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Dear You performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Dear You?
Look, I wanted to love Dear You. 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.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Dear You actually is?
Honestly, Dear You would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
