After watching about 1 hour and 40 minutes of this boring and subpar movie, the only secret I could uncover is how this film was nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Actor and Best Picture. At the 1-hour and 40-minute mark, I made the rare decision to leave this movie early, as I could no longer sit through it.
As I left the theater, I tried to figure out how a movie this bad could be nominated for best picture and the actor for best actor. According to ChatGPT, the possible reasons for this movie receiving two Oscar nominations include: Voters often confuse relevance with quality, intent frequently outweighs results. What would be called boring or unfocused in an American thriller becomes “artful restraint” when it’s international. Movies like this get nominated because the Oscars often reward: Prestige over pleasure, Intent over execution, Message over storytelling. Unfortunately, for all these reasons and others, I was tricked into seeing this boring and mostly bad movie mainly because it was nominated for best picture.
The Rotten Tomatoes ratings of 98% suggest payoffs to make this bad foreign film eligible for Oscar consideration; this is also true of the other bad-nominated film this year, "Bugonia". My rating is 10%, and a suggestion to "put this film on your must-miss list".
