The science in The Dog Stars has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

The Dog Stars: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

The Dog Stars has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Unpopular opinion: The Dog Stars is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the The Dog Stars performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Dog Stars actually is?
Look, I wanted to love The Dog Stars. 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 The Dog Stars is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of The Dog Stars 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 The Dog Stars?
Rewatched The Dog Stars 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.
