The script for Hudson & Rex feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Hudson & Rex.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Hudson & Rex?
Just got out of Hudson & Rex 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 Hudson & Rex is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Hudson & Rex was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Hudson & Rex actually is?
Rewatched Hudson & Rex 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.
