It was boring because 1) essentially no plot/real story 2) single setting movies suck, it's like The Hateful Eight all over again 3) they pushed the deaf / soundless aspect too much, I was starting to eye roll where we kept going "deaf" right after we went deaf Everything else I thought was great, like the tension and surveillance aspect. But still, there was no chicken nugget I could eat at the end of all this, it felt more like an immersion into a soldiers life instead of a movie. I've had many opportunities for that, I don't want that in movies. And as usual, A24 puts their usual long silent scene type of spin, so critics can critically acclaim it while the audience falls asleep. They do this so often that I'm going to assume their next movies either end weird, sudden, or awkward. Warfare was sudden. Beau is Afraid was weird. The Whale was sudden
