The Coens have historically been hit and miss for me but I don't think either of them have made this much of a nothing movie before. The whole thing just feels so flat and uninspired to the point where it just feels like the palest possible imitation of their own work. There's a few interesting flourishes behind the camera but they just end up feeling out of place in the overall dull experience that this movie ends up being. I thought Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan were solid but I never really bought into the connection these characters supposedly have and for a less than 90 minute movie this dragged unbelievably. I couldn't tell you what tone Coen was going for with a gun to my head and the humour just comes across as all the lowest hanging fruit imaginable. All l can say for now is thank god for Dune: Part Two because otherwise 2024 has been almost a complete pit for movies so far.
