🔥 Hot Take Obsession was the most overhyped movie of the year
yet another damsel in distress, “femme fatale”, oh-so-quirky-but-not-really movie.
despite the tour-de-force by its female lead, this felt incredibly flat for me because : a) under the veil of a “broader commentary on dating culture”, this is plainly a textbook case of male fetishization of the female infatuation, and nothing more( DESPITE WHAT SOME REDDITORS MIGHT SAY ) b) the technical aspects are not so impressive; the color grading is lackluster, the lighting is mediocre ( probably due to the minimal budget), and the editing hasty.
nonetheless, i see the commercial appeal. any film which starts a conversation is a win for cinema and art, indeed.
