Scandal confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

Even the popcorn looked bored during Scandal.

The cinematography in Scandal is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Scandal was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Scandal?
Honestly, Scandal would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Scandal is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Scandal performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
