it’s messy, frequently unintelligible, campy and unintentionally funny at times but I walked away from megalopolis glad that i saw it and glad that it exists. adam driver probably saves it, can’t imagine anyone else pulling that character off. i hate the way these all cgi soundstage movies look, i never feel immersed. jon voight was funny. the kind of movie an earnest, precocious USC film student might make if they had the budget. accelerationist, randian, most people i talked to at the theater hated it.

I remember walking out of "Mulholland Drive" and having no clue what it was about and thought it was a mess and didn't think much more about it. Then recently I saw it was at the top of all these lists for best movies since 2000. There was obviously a whole layer that I didn't get, and campiness was an intentional part of it, as it was supposed to be someone's fantasy, not reality, so it was supposed to feel fake, not quite right. I rewatched recently and it made sense finally. I'll try to go into Megalopolis with an open mind.
