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

Southland: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Southland has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Southland.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Southland?
Everyone praising the Southland performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Southland's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Southland was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Southland?
Honestly, Southland would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Southland is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love Southland. 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.
