The Mill (2023)
4/10
106 minutes of 212 f bombs
2 February 2024
A mill is a device, often a structure, machine or kitchen appliance, that breaks solid materials into smaller pieces by grinding, crushing, or cutting." It is also the best way to describe this movie.

Mill would be a much better movie if in the 106 minutes there were not 212 f bombs posing as actual dialogue. I would hope that even in a situation like this, a Black man's vocabulary would reach beyond the four-letter words that were being thrown around throughout this entire movie. The premise is interesting-like a black mirror episode. In keeping with that rationale, had it been only 60 minutes maybe they would've focused more on writing better dialogue, one more fitting for the story arc. Instead, it seems they spent more time on casting (limited cast) than they did on decent screenwriting.

The Producers took a film with a slightly interesting premise and ground it down to a cursing diatribe that tells more about the writers than it does about what we should take away from the movie.
