ThomasNicole Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 excited to hear it's the worst movie of all time with an absolutely pathetic 4 minute standing ovation. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Eric Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMP Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasNicole Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not getting raves and even if it was every year there are tons of great movies that make no money.
