Jason Schwartzman, Steve Carell, Ramy Youssef, and Cory Michael Smith in Mountainhead (2025)

Review by DaveHatesMovies

Mountainhead

2/10

The TWIST is... You wasted your time

I was watching this for about 30 minutes before I thought to myself... What is happening? Experiencing confusion during a movie isn't a death sentence. For example, Mother! (2017) had me confused the whole movie but still showed me something intriguing and offered something I've never seen. I was waiting for something to happen that would explain why the characters were so strange in behavior and had an inability to bond with each other, but it never happened. I became convinced that we would find out the four characters were software or computer programs coming together to take over the human race, with Steve Carrell being legacy software interfacing with new programs like Instagram, twitter, TikTok, etc. Then I thought we would find out they were actually AI themselves. They communicate with each other as if they are robots and they act strange and inhuman in their decisions. Unfortunately, there is no twist. At the end of the movie, you find out that they are just characters in a really simple story that are engaging in really verbose conversation, and you've wasted your time.

Boooooooooooooooo

"You just don't get it dude; it explores themes of isolation and attachment to self-identity" - Too cool for the room guy

If I had this DVD, it would be exploring the bottom of my trash can. Watch it at home while you assemble IKEA furniture and see if it makes you want to kick your dog or drown a snake. I gave it two stars because... I guess Steve Carrell is cool.
