Fair points all round @J_C - I thought it just about held the emotional storyline together, though the third act was a bit hamfisted no doubt.
Maybe my opinion was swayed by the fact it was something relatively fresh and wore influences that I personally appreciate on its sleeve with pride. I’m with your GF, and that is a great description! 
As @reubenturner pointed out it’s great that divisive films are being made! Nice to debate. 
Reminds me of Mother! A film I loved, but I’ve yet to meet someone else that feels the same way. I raved about to friends, who went to see it and hated it with a passion.
I loved Mother! Watched it twice in quick succession!
And me, without giving any spoilers, what it is so fantastic at is having two completely different and separate stories. You only really realise this when they cross, at which point your mind is well and truly blown. There were two instances of this for me in the current batch of episodes.
Brilliant film. Philistines didn’t like it 
2022
Ozark
Better Call Saul
Stranger Things
Big Boys is really quite good
I feel it was the same with Under the Skin which I thought was phenomenal, but in fairness it starred a Hollywood A lister and the trailer made it out to be ScarJo plays an alien who picks up men, whereas it was pure art house cinema.
Same with Mother! I think people were expecting JLaw in Horror movie standard fare.
I feel quite sorry for them. I mean I don’t, I think it’s fucking hilarious 
Gonna give Men a watch tonight. Have heard mixed reports
Yeah agree on Under the Skin, brilliant film.
That was our experience with Harmony Korine’s “Spring Breakers”. We went expecting a hallucinatory Harmony Korine film (and loved it) and half the cinema seemed to be fratty bros expecting titties & titillation and most of them walked out.
Springbreakers is an all time favourite. Better on the second or third watch. I’m not to familiar with James Franco but he was great in this role
Only seen once but on the big screen it was fabulous. Other JF I’d recommend:
–The Disaster Artist - hilarious drama based on Tommy Wieseau/The Room
–The Deuce - incredible series about early beginnings of the porn industry in NYC
Anyone watching The Midwich Cuckoos?
Thought about it but the reviews weren’t great. Is it worth a watch?
‘Our Flag Means Death’ Pretty funny, slo paced Pirate comedy series.
Kids are back from smoke for a bit so watched it on some Russian stream, think it’s on HBO.
Watched 3 episodes it got silly pretty fast.
Barry Season 3. Brilliant show.
