If whispered monologues were currency, Lioness would settle the national debt.

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

The cinematography in Lioness is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Lioness would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Lioness is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Lioness performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Lioness's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Look, I wanted to love Lioness. 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.
