Geeeez after hoping for something to tie everything together i was extremely let down. This movie walked the line of possibly good and possibly terrible the entire movie. Then leaves you completely lost in the end. I want to say terrible butGeeeez after hoping for something to tie everything together i was extremely let down. This movie walked the line of possibly good and possibly terrible the entire movie. Then leaves you completely lost in the end. I want to say terrible but this is something wurst than terrible. A bad movie can be considered terrible, this is like a shiny waste of time.… Expand

Horrendous. This is not even a real film. It's a collection of ridiculous dialogs and pure nonsense overall. If a movie can't be made due to a major event like the pandemic, don't make. One of the worst films I've seen in the last 5 Yeats.

But, with each “revelation” they come upon, they sink deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole of confusion and chaos that fails to provide them with clear answers and begins to affect their relationship. The result is an aimlessly protracted stream of consciousness exercise that extends into so many areas of allegedly profound exploration and supposed metaphysical significance that the overall narrative comes across like a combination of intellectual masturbation and navel contemplation writ large, punctuated by pointedly polite insults thrown toward one another about how each of them is wasting his life (talk about irony). While this Independent Spirit Award nominee for the John Cassavettes Award has its share of clever editing, inventive cinematography and moments of genuinely inspired humor, much of the film plays like a collection of half-baked ideas, inside jokes and failed attempts at lamely connecting profound insights that arose between its collaborators over an evening of bong hits. Whatever movie industry clout, filmmaking credibility and cinematic goodwill the directors may have amassed in their previous effort, “The Endless” (2017), they’ve squandered it here with this meandering, unfocused workshop on how not to make a movie. But, then, that’s probably best evidenced in one of the picture’s closing credits, which says that the film is dedicated to friends making movies together – and, based on the results of this offering, it’s readily apparent what that gets you.… Expand

I am a huge fan of these guys and I was excited to see what they would come up after “The Endless” which is a criminally underrated movie. I'm mixed on this. Incredible acting with a once again great script have me invested in what was happening. I also loved the suspense and the mystery of the two characters pasts that they weren’t telling each other. On the flip side since you have to really sell these characters it can get a little slow for some people while all the math and science stuff happens it can be hard to follow at certain sections and it seems to take a long time to get going.… Expand
