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

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Pearl.

If Pearl was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Pearl actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Pearl. 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.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Pearl?
Rewatched Pearl 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.

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