Megalopolis l September 27, 2024 | Lionsgate | Francis Ford Coppola's future magnum opus l CINEMA HAS BEEN SAVED

[ThomasNicole]

I think it’s quite obvious this is going for Showgirls / Blonde type of reception by design. Make people discuss a lot, it’s not a bad situation really despite the likely mixed scores against it.

 

And doesn’t necessarily will stop him from winning something at Cannes. Triangle of Sadness had very meh reviews and won Palme D’ Or

[CoolioD1]

excited to hear it's the worst movie of all time with an absolutely pathetic 4 minute standing ovation.

[Eric is Quiet]

God I hope this isn't Blonde-level like you guys are saying. That's still up there as one of the worst movies of the decade IMO

Blonde had 12 minutes standing ovation I think.

Heard something about it that is absolutely insane, really curious if the trades will keep themselves from spoiling it the second the embargo drops.

I see it referenced in several reviews already lol

[AniNate]

Sounds like it is everything it's been advertised as

[wildphantom]

Daily Telegraph:

”Megalopolis: Coppola’s latest is like Succession crossed with Batman Forever and a lava lamp”. 4/5

Fascinated by the reviews but sad to say that the recent FFC allegations really soured me a bit on the project. Happy to see he took such a big swing on this one, if nothing else, and I’ll still check it out when it drops in IMAX

[kayumanggi]

I wonder if major studios have changed their minds.

THIS IS ALL I NEED

[ThomasNicole]

56/100 on MC

 

some good ones still waiting to be added

 

Reception is definitely divisive, but it’s not hated or indifferent. Got 11 minutes of standing ovation at Cannes (it doesn’t really mean anything but here it is).

[TomThomas]

Vertical or Ketchup will pick it up.

Why would they? It's not getting raves and even if it was every year there are tons of great movies that make no money. I'd be shocked if this made over 50 mil domestic

[TheDude391]

Basically what I expected, very polarizing, love it or hate it. Can't wait!
