Norm V Sep 15, 2025 Still unable to connect history to the man in the basement experience. See more metalliphil Sep 14, 2025 Interesting storytelling and solid acting w a decent build up that didnt end up revealing anything to the audience they dont already know, so the ending ends up half hearted.

The movie thinks it's a smart avant garde explanation on white guilt, black suffering,and the pain systemic racism inflicts on black folks which is fine and dandy I just think it had the subtlety of a sledgehammer and the delivery of it's message used an artsy but actually lame vehicle. Both men are dealing with guilt and trauma of past actions and while it seems their paths are intertwined and as Wilem says "not so different" they are actually not dealing with the same trauma at all and don't even share a similar world view . Both men are just harboring guilt and internalizing it in unhealthy ways. At almost 2 hours it takes forever to get to its point and when it arrives there I didn't feel anything besides the regret of wasting my precious time to watch a movie smell its own ass and fail to even do the most basic of things movies set out to do which is entertain you.

I’m sorry to break it to anybody with that delusional notion. I literally live here lol. I was optimistic about this movie because I really like both actors of course William Defoe is William Defoe. I don’t know the lead actors name, but I really do like him. However, I turned the movie off when he was having a conversation with his girlfriend about evil. She said that either her grandmother or grandfather told her that all evil in the world is white people. I was like what just happened. This was going somewhere and now we’re doing this. It’s too bad a movie just can’t be a movie to entertain you. I didn’t finish it, but the sentiment of white people being the source for all evil in the world is racist and absurd. Try making an entertaining movie and stop race baiting. It really is a shame that these writers and directors push their political ideology. See more Read all reviews
