If there is any movie that deserves no spoilers, for the love of god and by the grace of allah, it is this one.

Holy fuck what a film.

That’s all that I will say other than …

Tap for spoiler

I can’t think of another film that leaves the big reveal until the FUCKING END CREDITS

      I mean, sure yeah I guess you could interpret it that way. Although I also felt that it really hit on

      spoiler

      How “addicted” our society / system is to fossil fuels, and that it’s the life blood of our economic system, and no matter how much we might want to stop pumping oil we cannot help ourselves. But, come to think of it, without a critique of capitalism, that rings kind of holly doesn’t it.

      In any event, though, I thought it was a great film.

      I thought it captured the feeling of cratering towards a catastrophe that is somehow an inevitable force of history, but also completely a result of specific decisions by specific people.

      semi-spoiler

      I also liked the disorienting half-real/half-meta atmosphere

      Politically it was flawed/shallow in some ways, but it made a better attempt than most

    My partner and I got about 30m in before we tapped out. She was wasted and probably couldn’t tell what was going on, my feeling was that it would have been a good skit or short film but wasn’t doing enough to fill 2 hours.

    it’s digg or get dug, and buddy, i digged

    Brought dad along and he felt like it was an 8/10, only framework he had for a movie as weird to him as it was Backrooms (which we also saw together)

    ONLY CLICK UPON DIGGING DIGGER

    tbf the end credits reveal was kinda built up to with the third act rehearsal segment where they debate on the values of realism vs dramatization
