The Sadness should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Sadness actually is?
Everyone praising the The Sadness performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

The cinematography in The Sadness is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought The Sadness was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Sadness?
Rewatched The Sadness 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.
