The science in Perfect World has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Cried during Perfect World. Mostly at the ticket price.

Unpopular opinion: Perfect World is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, Perfect World 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: Perfect World's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Perfect World performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

The cinematography in Perfect World is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Perfect World. 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 Perfect World?
Just got out of Perfect World and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
