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

Look, I wanted to love Chronicle. 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.
[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Chronicle?
Director clearly thought Chronicle was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
