Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis is an impenetrable mess that cinephiles will feel obligated to see anyway.
One reviewer went right for the throat.

I quite like what Richard Roeper said:
Francis Ford Coppola sold off one of his wine companies in order to secure a $120 million line of credit to finance his dream project “Megalopolis.”
With all great respect: You were better off with the Pinot Noir, sir.
Wow Platinum? Isn't that Warcraft's new gold-for-money currency?
Go back to the clurrrrrrb
I quite enjoyed Megafapolis. I was a little tired and spent by the end...............wait we're talking about Megalopolis. Ooooooohhhhh, I thought we were talking about Megafapolis. Still a good movie.
i saw it yesterday, it was great.
the movie makes it clear the story is a fable and that's what it is.
It's okay to be wrong /s
But seriously, I'm glad you liked it. I have no horse in this stable
I feel like everyone hating it means it's good.
Most people haven’t seen it and jump on whatever the most popular are saying.
i feel like people are making more analogies to trump and musk that are kinda ridiculous. it's like how populist characters in film used to be compared to Julius Caesar; like sure that's apt but also stfu and listen to the story.
also plazas ass is so nice.

I genuinely want to catch an IMAX showing before it is too late. It's like being able to watch the Hindenburg disaster in person.
Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.
The professional reviews are hilariously mixed, I'm pretty sure Coppola unwittingly made a movie that also serves as a litmus test to see how pretentious and up your own ass you are.
The honest reviews are basically, this made no sense, I don't know what he was thinking. The positive reviews can be boiled down to "if you have to ask, you're not sophisticated enough to understand".
Is this going to be like Starship Troopers, where everyone comes back a decade later and says it was good, actually?
I think Starship Troopers had the opposite problem where people weren't thinking about it hard enough.
And as is typical the truth is somewhere in the middle.
