[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Pepper Ann?
Director clearly thought Pepper Ann 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 Pepper Ann actually is?
Honestly, Pepper Ann 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 Pepper Ann is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Pepper Ann 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 Pepper Ann?
Everyone praising the Pepper Ann performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
