Should I go see Titane

I’m seeing it. There’s three other people here

My review: it sure was a movie

I will say this: the ending was a complete asspull and I actually thought people were going to boo

This movie has a dozen brilliant ideas but doesn’t know exactly what to do with all of them combined. The serial killer angle could have been entirely cut in service of the pure surrealism of the car stuff, which is actually an unfortunately minor part of the plot

Does the film want to be about fetishism, sexual violence, gender dysphoria, body dysphoria, adoption, homosocial living? It successfully mashes them all together as surreal story beats but it clearly has something more to say about each, which makes it a little disappointing

Especially when the last third of the film is a very earnest story about adoption, gender identity, and acceptance told in a not particularly surreal way until the last five minutes
