Hot Take: Dial M for Murder's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Look, I wanted to love Dial M for Murder. 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 Dial M for Murder is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Dial M for Murder would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Dial M for Murder actually is?
Director clearly thought Dial M for Murder was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
