Unpopular opinion: Permanent Residence is the most overrated film of the decade

Just got out of Permanent Residence 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 Permanent Residence?

Rewatched Permanent Residence 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.

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

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