Lion was mid so I’m not surprised. 

[Mr. Mendes]

Sometimes talented actors pick bad scripts. Plenty of show stopping performers have been in their fair share of ****. I don’t think that means those performers are any less talented. 

 

Paul for example also has a movie dropping that has like a 94 on Metacritic. Sometimes the script just isn’t it, but you live and learn! 

 

Looking forward to seeing it anyhow and looking forward to what these two incredible and gifted actors have coming next.

The Letterboxd folks just fell down to their knees as we speak

[truthteller]

not enough acting talents could save that script and execution let's be real

paul will be okay, he is constantly and consistently working. unfortunately saoirse OTOH is not and only works like once a year, so reviews in general will impact her the hardest. i want better for ha and to start being more ambitious tbh

nobody would have care about this movie with 0% or with 45% or 65%. The typical came and went project anyways. 

[Young Volcanoes]

nobody cares

[ICLDXU4HS]

That Saoirse slump just won't leddup. 

[Smarticle]

Let them cook

[Assassin]

And I thought Poolman would be the worst reviewed movie to come out of the festival circuit.

Their performances are being praised and what they're dragging is the script and the director so they'll be fine 

[Eóghan]

well that's a shame with such talent attached to it

but to be honest nobody cares about indie panned movies. blockbuster panned movies are the ones fun to bash

Lion was cute, but it fell apart after they switched over to Dev Patel. 

[Chemist]

Wow

[Hector]

I truly dodged a bullet with this one at the New York Film Festival

[Antisocialites]

the book was good, I'll trust father Mescal and mother Ronan

She's the lead in Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave, Widows) next film so she's doing fine.

There's only 5 reviews so far and theyre in the dead hours of the morning atm so it could rise? I found a positive review really easily:
Foe Review: Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan Star in A.I. Marriage Drama – IndieWire

[midnightdawn]

No Gaga No Critical Acclaim

[Kayseri Mantisi]

well, Paul Mescal is still mega hot and this doesn't change anything  

[ChapelHooker]

it’s weird i was looking forward to this because i like the author of the book it’s based on but i’m also not surprised, the trailer looks so lifeless and drab in a way that doesn’t feel intentional 

[Johnny Jacobs]

[Into The Void]

I don't trust critics but I wouldn't watch anyway
