- Dave KernanFebruary 7, 2025This was genuinely terrible.
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025I have a hypothesis about the making of this movie. I think the film's script doubled as a mushroom journal for Francis Ford Coppola. And I know that it sounds crazy, but shrooms are mentioned multiple times throughout the film and there's a preoccupation with replicating patterns and sequences that reference biology producing images that could double as an ego loss trip. The New Rome setting feels particularly ironic given the catastrophic blunderous nature of the script. There are lots of heady references both visually and spoken out bluntly but Megalopolis fails to settle on a thought or idea long enough to leave any imprint that doesn't feel like a shallow cask of the real thing. There's a character that seems like a Trump analog and an architect with the persecution complex of say Jesus or Julius Caesar but the dialogue is absolute hogwash. And the plot habitually skirts the line of becoming nonsensical. But I cannot deny that I did find some solace witnessing the actors engage in a sort of over indulgence into their characters oft and even at the behest of warping the seemingly serious affair into a dark comedy with the director being the target of the film's biggest joke.
- PlexCannonJanuary 18, 2025lol it's so bad
- Rowan KrzysiakJanuary 6, 2025It really was absolutely terrible. Very few redeeming features to talk of. Completely stupid and forgettable.
- George KythreotisDecember 21, 2024Don’t watch this film. It’s a masterpiece. 8/10
- vangh1December 18, 2024I had a 20 minutes conversation about the film with the 3 strangers that shared the theatre with me for a 9:35pm Sunday night showing and I'll always appreciate this movie for bringing us together for some entertaining and enlightening conversation. After reading a year ago about this movie's failure to secure distribution after multiple festival screenings, I thought I'd never see it, but I'm so glad I did. Its bizarre, it's big, and at time baffling. It's hit and miss, it wears its heart on its sleeve and it very much feels like a movie that the director self funded. Despite a lot of the dark events that occur throughout, it's an undeniably hopeful movie that has a lot to say about love and its ability to heal. Adam Driver loves weird projects, eh? Put this alongside Annette and Paterson and just revel in the oddity. Absolute Southland Tales vibes. This fumbles the ball a bit less though. (Not a lot less) I myself have pontificated on the parallels of the fall of Rome and some of our modern woes, so it was a joy watching some of that play out on the big screen. Very hard to give this a star rating. Very difficult.
