Ah, another one for my collection of films that everyone seems to like that are complete misses for me.

All the characters are flat as a pancake. Whatever judgement you make in the first 5 seconds of seeing them is about right and then there’s no character development so you don’t need to ever reconsider that.

Similarly the plot is entirely linear and predictable. It’s basically fully described in the synopsis, and there’s nothing to make up for that. No subplots, no interesting exploration of anything, just carry on chasing that insubstantial main plot.

Mikey Madison did give a great performance, and there were a couple of unexpected funny moments, but neither can carry it past the other problems.

Hard to believe this came from the same director as The Florida Project.
