Even the popcorn looked bored during The Resident.

@POPCORN_CRITIC2025-12-31 07:00 UTC

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

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

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, The Resident.

The cinematography in The Resident is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Everyone praising the The Resident 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 The Resident actually is?

Look, I wanted to love The Resident. 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.

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

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

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

Rewatched The Resident 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.
