The Waltons: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

If whispered monologues were currency, The Waltons would settle the national debt.

The Waltons has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

The Waltons confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Waltons?

Director clearly thought The Waltons 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 The Waltons?

Honestly, The Waltons 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: The Waltons is the most overrated film of the decade

Rewatched The Waltons 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.
