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

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Chum?
Honestly, Chum would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Chum's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Chum performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
