2/5
EDIT
“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie thrives on not giving anything substantial to the audience. It’s sickeningly boring, and fans deserve so much better than to be fed such gobbledygook. ” –

EDIT
“I could’ve come here and talked about why Colleen Hoover [...] continues to misunderstand fundamental human relationships in her writing. All of this is still true. But the filmed transposition of Reminders of Him isn’t bad. Simple as that.” –

“What tries to be a live-action version of Godfrey Reggio’s Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi [...] ultimately ends up being a complete nothingburger that has nothing of interest to say, thematically, narratively, and aesthetically.” –
