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

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

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Wings actually is?
Director clearly thought Wings 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 Wings?
Honestly, Wings would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
