The ending is 0 to 100 fucking insane. It’s like Rosemund Pike decided that she wanted to make a Gone Girl 2. It’s a horrible film, but incredibly memorable due to that crazy ending.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It felt like mostly nothing happened for 2 hours. There was some decent dialogue and a lot of references to 1950s and 60s Hollywood. There is some build up, but not much payoff until the last 20 minutes. Then everything goes off and you are reminded that this is a Tarantino film.
That was exactly my wife and I’s assessment of that film. We thought it was a slightly entertaining but mostly boring film… then the last 15 or so minutes we laughed our asses off. Once Brad Pitt’s character makes the clicking sound we were “ohhh shiiit”
I would say, the Invitation. It’s quite slow, a bit bizarre in its set-up, and took me years to watch it after checking it out once and thinking “This is the movie people are excited about?”
But hang in there for the last 25-30 mins, and it really pays off. I think about it all the time now.
Jojo Rabbit goes from a heartwarming dark comedy about a boy that is living through WW2 and his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, into something very different that is too much of a spoiler.
A Cure For Wellness goes from a slow burn mystery/thriller into a B-movie shlockfest in the 3rd act
I swear once he found out what the treatment was and he was given it, that the movie was over, cut to credits, fin. But there’s another half hour after that, and it’s wacky.
