I wasn't really hyped about this but saw people talking about it and getting excited. I liked that the kid from 'let the right one in' series is in here. The movie's visually striking, with vibrant neon colors, a hallmark of A24 I think. However, I didn't find it particularly captivating; it seems like something you need a prior interest in to engage with early on. The plot revolves around two outcast kids with an unusual interest, and while the visuals were compelling, the story itself didn't hold my attention. It has a creepy ambience to it. I liked when they met up later, things get more interesting from there. But ultimately though, it felt like an artsy project without enough substance. The movie dragged, and the characters didn't have much to them and lacked a compelling storyline. Although it became more interesting in the final third and is undeniably unique, it just wasn't memorable for me. The movie felt like it had more to offer visually than anything else. I'm sure some will like it but to me Justice Smith's taken two L's this year; it was better than "The American Society of Magical Negroes" though.
