Somnambulant ego trip by Donald Glover
3 February 2024
The dull talky script says nothing. It crawls along like a wounded beast. It's only rescued by the fine acting of Maya Erskine, leaving boring scriptwriter and star Glover to talk s-l-o-w-l-y with big boring gaps between his inane utterances. It doesn't help that the sound design is almost silent for background sounds, making each dull bit of dialog just sit there. Yes, it does pick up after awhile but by the time it does, who cares?

If you have an IQ under 100, this may work for you. This flick is pedestrian to the point of boredom. Only Erskine gives it life. Unfortunately, Glover's slow motion delivery results in the viewer nodding off for most of this lethargic exercise in bad - no worse, BORING - scriptwriting. It's about an actor's ego getting in the way of art. Avarice is a slow motion killer of art. Glover needs to his priorities straight.
