The cinematography in Just Like Heaven is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the Just Like Heaven performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Just Like Heaven?
Look, I wanted to love Just Like Heaven. 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.

Hot Take: Just Like Heaven's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Just Like Heaven was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
