Vera thinks "scary" means turning the lights off and slamming a kitchen drawer.

The script for Vera feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Vera.

Hot Take: Vera's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Vera was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

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

The cinematography in Vera is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the Vera performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Vera?
Look, I wanted to love Vera. 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.
