"Now for a more contemporary movie. What a phenomenal third act. What a triumphant moment at the end. There’s so much build up — some movies just don’t pay off the way they should. The performances were beyond incredible, but to have that triumphant moment be as strong as it really was, you just don’t find it. And so simple too. The story didn’t have to be about explosions and car crashes to really hit as hard as it did. It didn’t need the Hollywood spin on it — not that that story could have ever been told with a Hollywood spin on it — but that this simple story about this relationship could have as big an impact as anything I’ve seen is incredible. JK Simmons is so good; he doesn’t have any tells, so you only get clues to where it’s going. But he’s so good at playing that asshole."

The depiction of the struggle between trying to achieve your dreams and conforming to the societal norms and expectations (0 more)
Can't decide whether it is meant to be entirely musical or a drama. Kinda stuck in between. (2 more)
Actually thought the main actors' performances were boring.
Overall the movie's idea wasn't fully chewed and spit out too early.
Hollywood farts out a musical after a few years and it gets numerous awards!

Thrilling throughout. (2 more)
Good use of building tension.

A bit far fetched in places. (0 more)
A Fresh Thrill
An exciting horror movie that actually feels fresh. The tension is built well by the director and the score compliments the whole thing well. It's not the best script in Hollywood and is a bit ridiculous in places, but it's a fun thriller that will keep you engaged for its runtime.
