Fuck yes!!!!
Deeply worth a revisit. For von trier this feels very “hands off” narratively. Very easy breezy and natural, which are healthy qualities for a movie about climate change and the apocalypse to have. Found this refreshing after a movie like Pipeline (Not a dig despite finding that movie underwhelming.) appreciated a heady, gut take on something like this. And I found it an enlightening juxtaposition.

X 2022
agonizing first 3 quarters. a lot of jokes cant save the movie from feeling utterly humorless. needledrops as scaffolding to make up for a lack of tension or personality.
massively disagree with people saying mia gives a good performance. it's not her fault. her character sucks so bad.
fugly as sin.
