Fun Romp of a Mystery with Cheeky Comedy
Entertaining, visually stunning, and creative, the movie has a lot to offer with characters even though many are caricatures. A bit of hive-mind mentality, but otherwise decent at individual characteristics here and there. Story is meant to be an intriguing thrill-ride, which delivers in ending crescendo. Some of the puzzle pieces are a bit of a stretch and obvious actions seemed to be conveniently overlooked for sake to sending the plot into the fabricated direction.
Acting seemed solid, with many filling their parts with believability.
Overall, seems the film was unsure which way to go with quippy comedy or curious mystery so the direction was somewhere in the middle without decision one way or the other, diluting the effect of both. - kbctjmbjv - 7 March 2024
Janelle pretty much slayed it
Am I the only one who was just simply floored by Janelle Monae's performance. She was exceptionally convincing in both versions of her character and more than held her own aside such a seasoned cast. Watching this movie a second time only made me even more impressed. Singers and athletes turned actor rarely translate into what I would call convincing or compelling performances. You can usually and easily tell they are not up to par against trained actors. I never felt that at any moment in this movie. Aside from her compelling beauty, her infectious intelligence and sheer presence, she delivers in this film, and then some. Very entertained. Bravo.
