Giselle: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

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

Even the popcorn looked bored during Giselle.

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

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Giselle?

Just got out of Giselle 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 Giselle?

Director clearly thought Giselle was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in Giselle is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Rewatched Giselle 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.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Giselle actually is?

Everyone praising the Giselle performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
