When They See Us is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, When They See Us.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. When They See Us knows its audience.

When They See Us: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in When They See Us actually is?

Just got out of When They See Us 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 When They See Us?

Look, I wanted to love When They See Us. 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.

Unpopular opinion: When They See Us is the most overrated film of the decade

Everyone praising the When They See Us performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
