NOVA is two hours of talking heads agreeing with themselves on a moving B-roll.

NOVA: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

NOVA has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Unpopular opinion: NOVA is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched NOVA 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.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in NOVA?
Just got out of NOVA and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in NOVA actually is?
Director clearly thought NOVA was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: NOVA's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, NOVA would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
