Watched this with family thinking it was going to be a clever dry comedy. A part from maybe a few subtle laughs at the start, this is far from a comedy, though it is dry and weird. If anything it's a just a weird type of tame horror. Needless to say, it was a bit of an awkward watch, as it was simply not what we were expecting. The trailer is definitely misleading. An interesting take on the instant fame and cancel culture though.
I will say that Nicholas Cage is absolutely fine in the film and I applaud his continued come back into the main stream... not that he ever went anywhere. I can't say the wife, played by Julianne Nicholson, is a bad actress, but I literally despise every character I have ever seen her as, and they seem to all be the complete same.
Following this film, I had to watch something else that I knew would cheer me up; and like many dreams or nightmares, cause this film to be forgotten after a short time, which I'm sure it will be.
