Gustav All-American

It's a little too stylized for me, asking what should be a very emotional question without really earning an emotional response. And the central idea is pretty silly. Worth seeing, just didn't think it was amazing.

Thought Prisoners was overrated. Literally hated Enemy. Sicario was very overrated. Arrival was as well.

It's only realistic once you get past the crazy central idea

Gustav

I guess I'm not sure I'm understanding what you think is so crazy about it?

It's as (un)realistic as any such movies
