Napoleon and the Lamb Chops of Destiny
The only thing Napoleon has going for it is its indulgence in farcical iconoclasm; a very deliberate depiction of a near-mythological historical figure as a comically inept, less-than-human caricature.

Materialists
Supposedly an elevated melancholic take on the 2000s era romcom/drama genre, Materialists is a pretentious, tonally inconsistent 'Sofia Coppola from Wish' production that constantly attempts to hide its lacking understanding of basic human emotions by hammering the audience on the head with poetic platitudes about the power of love in an era of superficial, transactional dating culture--backed, of course, by a generic dreamy soundtrack and visuals both as vapid as the film and the themes it presents themselves.

Triangle of Sadness: Expected an Ocean and Landed in a Puddle
A shallow, borderline offensive attempt at art-house film and social criticism.

Sheep in the Box
In what universe is this even remotely a possibility that exploring such concepts in this way genuinely has anything meaningful to contribute to our understanding of the human condition?
