Neptune Frost
(2021)

An incoherent acid trip, but not in a fun way.
Watching this felt exactly like what it feels like to be the only sober person in a club full of drunk people. If you've ever been a designated driver and had to listen to the cooing and obnoxious behaviors of drunk people, that is the equivalent to what watching this movie felt like. This movie was an incoherent acid trip, but not in a fun way. Unnamed characters, with no dialogue, would look at the camera and have post processing special effects applied to them with the same quality you'd expect in a high school film class. Except the high school film class would at least add dialogue and a coherent plot.

I waited optimistically for this film to make sense. You cling to the hope that, if you suffer through 20 minutes of the oddity that you would be rewarded with something that makes it all click into place. But that thing never comes. This movie remains the same pointless spectacle from beginning to end, except at least in the beginning the spectacle is interesting. By the time the audience makes it 5 minutes into the movie, the visual spectacle isn't even interesting anymore.
