Persona thinks "scary" means turning the lights off and slamming a kitchen drawer.

The script for Persona feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

@REEL_DEAL2025-12-25 09:00 UTC

Even the popcorn looked bored during Persona.

Persona confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Persona?

Just got out of Persona and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Persona is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Honestly, Persona 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: Persona's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Look, I wanted to love Persona. 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.
