I thought I would like this, and I wanted to like this, but I just didn't. I did like the soundtrack. It was also apparently my first Oliver Stone movie, so maybe I was just unprepared for how heavily stylized it would be.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral, controversial fever dream that uses stylistic chaos and media satire to blur the line between condemning mass murder and glamorizing it. Oliver Stone builds a genuinely uncomfortable experience about how society turns killers into celebrities, while making the film itself feel like the very spectacle it's critiquing.
