Overall this movie worked quite well as an epilogue to Breaking Bad and a conclusion to Jesse Pinkman's side of the story. There was only one thing about it that I really disliked: some of the flashback scenes were too long, especially the ones involving Todd. This is not just because the actor has clearly gained a lot of weight (and therefore looks noticeably different), but because when I watched Breaking Bad, I hated Todd with such a passion that his presence made the movie less enjoyable. Apart from that, this movie does a great job of tying up the loose ends on Jesse's side, we get to see familiar faces such as Badger and Skinny Pete (and Mike in flashback), and the acting was stellar!

Clearly a lot of people enjoyed this grotesque movie, but it wasn't for me. Some of the scenes in it made me feel sick, and maybe they were supposed to, but it seemed unnecessary. Don't even get me started on how pretentious the movie was.

I also found this movie very frustrating because the acting was good, the sets and costuming were good, and some scenes used striking cinematography. These things all made me feel like I should've liked the movie, but I don't. It could have been put to much better use.

The sex and nudity is beyond gratuitous. I'm usually not bothered by sex scenes in movies, but for this particular film it felt perverted. Maybe the director has a weird fetish.

Ultimately, this film made me want to crack my own head open and pour bleach over my brain. It's one of those movies I'd like to block out. I don't think I'll ever watch anything else by Lanthimos.

I recently decided to rewatch all 156 episodes of the Twilight Zone, and this one turned out to be my least favorite.

There are 2 things about this one that I especially dislike. For one, Horace Ford is annoying to the point where he's difficult to root for or even like. He is very childlike as a person, which is a major point in this episode; he's obsessed with his childhood. My other reservation is that due to its hour long runtime, it feels really stretched. Not all of the hour long episodes feel like that but a few of them do, and this one especially. And it's cheesiness did not help!

I only recommend watching this one if you want to be able to say you've seen all 156 episodes. Otherwise, skip it.
