I took my kid to see it the other day, both of us really enjoyed it (even though the screen blacked out on 4 separate occasions for some reason, usually during one of the action sequences), a sequel would be good, although apparently the box office hasn’t been great.
Yeah not sure why the box office has been slow. Possibly people who havent watched the series think there might be too much homework but its definitely designed as a standalone film with its own story

I suspect people that saw the series also might’ve been turned off. The series started okay, but was pretty terrible by the end.

Thoroughly enjoyed Tuner with Leo Woodhall and Dustin Hoffman. Nice chemistry between the two of them. Nothing groundbreaking about the plot but well executed.

Saw the trailer which whet my appetite for it.

I’m taking mine as soon as possible, although most of them are adults now!
4K restoration of Farewell My Concubine in a mostly Mandarin-speaking packed house.
Hadn’t seen since college days…incredible.

My Kids, 18 and 20 have seen both, and they both preferred Obsession to say the least.

Yeah, I saw it last week at HOME , really enjoyed it.
I didn’t read up on it beforehand and wasn’t entirely sure what was going on. Some people comment that the storyline is a bit lacking, it makes up for it viscerally.
It’s a bit Lynchian in ways.
Soundtrack, sound and location are good, there’s also a scene that features a legendary music equipment extra.
It’s the first Kane Parsons film i’ve seen, have you seen anything else he’s done?

Obsession. " Just be normal, Nikki". Sadly, for Bear that was never going to be a possibility. Brilliant take on the Midas story.

Saw it on Saturday. Incredible that it’s by a 20 year old. I’d definitely recommend it and not to read reviews before. I saw it with my 17yo daughter and the cinema was mostly kids under 25, and they sat in total silence and absorbed what is essentially an 80s Art House flick. I left thinking the kids are OK …

Obsession was filmed in our friends house weirdly - before it sadly went in the fires. My mates kids wouldn’t believe me till I showed them a photo tonight.

Backrooms was teriffic. 4/5 liminal spaces. Second @jolyon was pretty sweet to see in a house full of zoomers sitting rapt. Great score as well. Worth a trip to the cinema.

Had a row of Gen Zs in front of us munching the loudest snacks imaginable.
I liked it, stellar cast and great sets, but it definitely felt like a movie of a meme at times.

The next morning my son took me through the list of different theories / backstories - eye opening!

I think I’ve said this before but the absolute low point was a couple eating a fucking burger and chips during Zone of Interest.
