As VFX become increasingly essential to every film production, the expectations become more unrealistic, the exploitation becomes even more evident, and it's about time VFX artists unionize.

This movie is a cinematic atom bomb. Any preconceived ideas of what a movie is supposed to be is obliterated every 15 min and the audience is left holding pieces of their brains as the film laughs in their faces. Its cruel, its indulgent, and so so so dumb. I loved it.
Just left a screening of “Beau Is Afraid.” Before credits started rolling 1 guy in audience stood up and yelled “I better not hear a single person f***ing clap.” Another dude screamed “that’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen.” A girl yelled “total piece of shit”

What really struck me is, while a lot of the blockbusters we’re making in the states tend to have self aware, cheeky characters trapped in self-serious filmmaking, RRR was all heart-on-its-sleeve sincerity wrapped up in the most ridiculous over the top execution. So much to love.
