Hot Take: Angel's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of Angel and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Angel?
Everyone praising the Angel performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Angel actually is?
Rewatched Angel 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.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Angel?
Look, I wanted to love Angel. 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.
