Unpopular opinion: Brave Citizen is the most overrated film of the decade

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

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Brave Citizen?

Just got out of Brave Citizen and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Brave Citizen is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Honestly, Brave Citizen would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Brave Citizen?

Everyone praising the Brave Citizen performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
