The chemistry in Desire is so flat it would fail a high-school lab report.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Desire.

Desire confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

The cinematography in Desire is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Desire 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 Desire?
Look, I wanted to love Desire. 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 Desire?
Rewatched Desire 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.
