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

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

Hot Take: Californication's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Californication 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 Californication?
Look, I wanted to love Californication. 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.
