Beautiful to look at and listen to, transfixing, impressionistic, striking, often a little tedious, unnerving, intense and hilarious. Probably unlikely to appeal to anyone who isn’t a major Korinehead, but it’s a unique and absorbing experience that despite a lot of ironic laughs never feels less than achingly sincere. The visual style evolves in so many fascinating and gorgeous ways and the score is excellent. Honestly wasn’t expecting to love this, but Korine don’t miss.

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

The visuals (infrared, extreme reds, blues, AI-generated imagery, the washed out look) evoke hell, basically. If you look at this as a terrible guy in a terrible, almost alternative world (since most of us will never know what it's like to be an assassin), then everything about it makes sense, even the disgusting, repetitive, even childish dialogue or actions. It's rumination in cinematic fashion, eternal suffering. Awesome, nightmarish OST too. Korine was going for vibes, he nailed it.

actually it would have been a masterpiece, yet Korine still finds a way to make his films silly. But what a damn movie, still luv it.
