This is on Disney at present - Banshees of Inisherin

An instant classic.

Better than Everything Everywhere All at Once

100% agree. I saw EEAO in the theatre and thought it to be a big mess. Banshees is fantastic.

I really DID like EEAO.  It was definitely something but I even myself used the term "mess" to describe it.

For pure originality and goofy hubris I'm glad it got the visibility it did.  And its production company A24 is singlehandedly making almost the only good movies in Hollywood right now.

But... damn... the Banshees of Inisherin... I will be thinking about that one forever.

Oh don’t get me wrong I appreciated the ambition and the originality, the performances were great but I just found it to be a bit too much.

I watched “Nope” the other day and have the exact same criticisms.
