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

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Downfall knows its audience.

Downfall: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

Downfall should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Downfall?
Look, I wanted to love Downfall. 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 Downfall is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Downfall was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Downfall is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of Downfall and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Downfall's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Downfall 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.
