Modern Times has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Modern Times.

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

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Modern Times actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Modern Times. 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.

The cinematography in Modern Times is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Modern Times 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 Modern Times?
Honestly, Modern Times would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
