Can’t believe I slept on it thinking it was gonna be some run of the mill “people go to a place and get slowly killed off” type thriller. Highly recommend if you’ve also let it pass by like I have.
It’s also very funny.

Ok you tell me what the point of having the men all away from everyone and then all getting found with no consequences? And why was there the bare minimum development for every character but the main ones? I enjoyed the movie, probably because I like everything with Anya Taylor-Joy in it (except Split but we don't talk about that), but calling it brilliant is incorrect imo.
Edit: I laughed once in the movie which was when Tyler was finished cooking and the usual menu screen read "Tyler's Bullshit".

Then he hung himself so

I think part of it showed that they didn't give a shit about any of the others. If they had all banded together they might have been able to do something (which was brought up several times throughout the movie) but instead they're all shoving each other and trying to spread out. One guy even had a boat! But instead of working together to row quicker/get it in the water quicker, he pushes his supposed "bros" away. Similarly, the women could have taken that opportunity to try to do something as well with the majority of the staff was out searching the island for the men. Atomization being their ruin could be an interesting part of it
That's definitely the point it was going for but nothing really drove it home, they just kinda got brought back.
Yeah, it could have definitely been done better to give it more clarity. If they had

shown each of their plans failing because it was only 1 of them like rowing the boat in a circle because of only one oar or not being able to climb some tall height without a boost
or something like that, the message would have been stronger.
Yeah, it needed some Twilight Zone irony. Even the way its cut it feels like there was something there that was either cut or they didn't get to fully shoot.
Just a cursory glance at youtube has shown several cut scenes from the movie that explain certain things better so maybe something was cut.
It was a tightly cut movie and I enjoyed that but I'd for sure watch an extended cut.
I love Tyler's role during that scene, just watching enviously as the women eat their exclusive course with his face pressed up against the glass like the creep he is
I agree, that was the only good part.
They made one guy eat an egg. That seemed like a [Scene Missing] moment.
