If Younger was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Younger.

Younger has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Younger?

Rewatched Younger 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.

Unpopular opinion: Younger is the most overrated film of the decade

Everyone praising the Younger performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Younger actually is?

Look, I wanted to love Younger. 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.

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

Just got out of Younger and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
