Decent debut

That's one weird looking desert.

Denis Villeneuve's first debut featured film. When the main character confessed her intention to her best friend, I honestly thought this movie was a comedy, because of the absurdity of the situation. Still, as the drama started to show, the characters became the carrying aspect of the movie.

The theme of existential crisis was explored in a decent way. The weirdness of the way the characters trying to find meanings in their lives was reflected through the bizarre title of the movie. I think this aspect was quite clever, and later on as the date changes this theme became clearer.

The biggest problem was for sure the pacing. The movie was very slow and sometimes meandering despite the runtime not reaching the one hour and 30 minutes mark.

Overall, a decent debut from Villeneuve. 6/10.
