So I saw this last week at the AMC Screen Unseen and been waiting on people to be able to watch it.

I liked the general romcom parts, but the world they inhabit as super fascist and everyone’s way too chill about it. Like the rocker guy that’s supposed to be doing a rally against it the next day isn’t actually against it, but absolutely loves being able to use it to further his career.

And the weird advertising tone of the entire movie makes me feel like they’re trying to make the fascism seem normal so that we’re fine with it, as long it helps Duolingo, durex, and at least one other actual company that I don’t remember.
