Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Little Man knows its audience.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Little Man actually is?
Just got out of Little Man and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Little Man's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Little Man performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Little Man?
Look, I wanted to love Little Man. 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.
