The Crown confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".
“This film is a war crime against cinema.”

An absolute cinematic disaster.
The gripping, decades-spanning inside story of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Prime Ministers who shaped Britain's post-war destiny. The Crown tells the inside story of two of the most famous addresses in the world – Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street – and the intrigues, love lives and machinations behind the great events that shaped the second half of the 20th century. Two houses, two courts, one Crown.

Even the popcorn looked bored during The Crown.

The Crown is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

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

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Crown actually is?
Look, I wanted to love The Crown. 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 The Crown?
Just got out of The Crown and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

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