If Soul was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

An absolute cinematic disaster.
Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful audition at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.

Cried during Soul. Mostly at the ticket price.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Soul?
Director clearly thought Soul was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

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