This seems to be a movie you either love or hate - I was looking forward to it for a long time but I didn’t enjoy it.

Fraser’s performance was excellent but he was surrounded by unsympathetic, unempathetic, unlikeable characters whose presence cause everyone around them pain. And I know that’s the point to a certain degree - I think the movie is trying to show how terrible circumstances can cause people to do terrible things - but it’s a tough watch and ultimately I was glad when it ended.

I don’t agree with your astroturfing point, but maybe it feels that way because everything Apple are releasing is original work not based on an existing franchise. Some of us find that exciting.
