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

Counted the jumpscares in The Medium. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.
@REEL_DEAL2025-12-17 20:00 UTC
The Medium has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Medium actually is?
Rewatched The Medium 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.

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

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Medium?
Just got out of The Medium and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
