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

The Good Fight has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

The Good Fight confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Good Fight?

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

Unpopular opinion: The Good Fight is the most overrated film of the decade

Director clearly thought The Good Fight was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: The Good Fight's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched The Good Fight 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.
