Was really good until the last 5 minutes...
The last 5 minutes were so stupid that it almost ruined the movie for me with how detached and cartoonish it was from the rest of it.
shareWas it more cartoonish than Ren And Stimpy?

I can see how some people wouldn't care for the ending but I thought it was set up well with how it gradually got more surreal as it went along. Plus the rest of it is so good I don't see how the last five minutes could "ruin" it.

I get it being more surreal, but here having roid rage and turning into a giant was just too silly compared to everything that came before. I also thought the ending scene with the girl who got shot through the face and was still alive after bleeding out for 24 hours was cringy. It felt tacky to end such a brutal and dark movie with a final scene that was just there for a cheap laugh.
Sounds like a Coen-lite move.
shareYou and I are on the same page.
shareI thought the last 20 min was awful. Sorry but green giant over there ruined it for me. It was a great film. Loved the characters, they were credible. It was a dark film with an appeal to keep watching. Then they blew it for me..Killing people left and right. Again the hulk situation, then the surreal scenes at the end..Oh come on, cant we just have nice things?
I agree. It's one thing if the entire movie is Twin Peaks / Mulholland Drive. But it wasn't. The first 95% of the movie was pretty standard plot line stuff. The entire style changed at the end with Giganta showing up. I'm suddenly trying to place symbolism and... ahem... giant metaphors. Very odd.
But aside from that I liked it. It wasn't overly woke. Usually lesbian heroes seem to be Mary Sues who can do no wrong. I liked the steroid angle and the effect it had on the relationship.
I liked the epic fail on assuming the exploding car would burn out overnight. But this movie didn't really pick a lane and stay in it. It went Lord of the Rings meets Pulp Fiction meets Marvel at the end.
