MEGALOPOLIS kinda sucks...

This might be another controversial one, but I promise I still love Coppola.

I'm glad there's a weird, artsy movie with a message that's actually good. It's called The Substance, this one sucks!

I saw both films in same week. I got whiplash from the change in quality. Substance is my favorite film of the year, Megalopolis might be tied for worst with Longlegs and Unfrosted

This is my favourite movie of the year. It's baffling to me that people think this is a bad movie. Not being to some people's taste, I totally get, but this movie is so expertly crafted and subversive. Everything that people have been calling bad, from the acting to the editing to effects, is obviously intentional if you know about the creative motivations behind it. And it's glorious.

Hi Ray, there's something that I don't understand. Francis Ford Coppola has had decades to rally his wealth and entertainment connections to hone and refine his ideas for Megalopolis into a coherent story. Mr. Coppola has access to resources that I can't even imagine, yet no effort was made to "rationalize" all the puzzle pieces into a well-crafted movie. What makes a great movie Great, is a filmmaker who knows what Not to include in the narrative. The excess baggage left on the cutting room floor is the real movie magic. Excellent review, Ray.

Couldn't agree more tbh. I'd love to know what an early draft of this script would've looked like back in the 90s
