This was bad

This movie is 96 % talking....not character development talking, not building a plotline talking, just talking. Randomly. There are many conversations that goes no where and does not enhances the story.Motivation: The movie never establishes the motivations to make people do what they do. They make decisions to satisfy the story without letting us know why they are making that decision.Direction/Acting...in the few scenes that do contain some level of drama, the actors overact the scene which means yelling, gesturing loudly and walking out of rooms.Lastly...boring. The first 20 minutes did little to pique my interest and even make me want to finish the movie. I should have gone with that instinct and saves myself 90 minutes of my life.

Monotone

The movie touched on some cult recruitment practices and attempted to address the why people get sucked into groups with some slightly on the nose dialogue dressed up as academic banter.

Unfortunately I'm familiar having directly experienced a real cult and it's terrifying groupthink. The use of psychedelics is a cult trope but mostly not the case. Maybe the cult this was based on used them but that's a generally held misbeleif. It doesn't take much to suck the unguarded in. We're social animals and crave community and acceptance.

None the less it did expose some cult standards. Being made to feel special. Group acceptance. False dilemmas to instil fear and compliance. A sociopathic cult leader. Etc.

From a movie/narrative perspective the story was a little flat and one dimensional. A splash of colour should have spruced it up visually. Sub plots were thin and the twist foreshadowing tipped its hand.

Eric did a good job as did his co-stars but I had the feeling they weren't buying the dialogue here and there. Still it was watchable and there wasn't that feeling you'd just wasted two hours of your life.

I just wish it had that extra something.
