Image is from the NYTimes review of the movie Forgive me if you’ve seen too many Saltburn takes—I feel like more and more of a boomer the longer I’m off social media but Saltburn is still taking up residence in my brain even if it’s maybe dropped off the rapid social media cycle?!
I soooo agree with you. And I think the reason they felt like they needed to do that it because character development was SO BAD. Why would we have any inkling that Ollie would've been plotting? Nothing in his character gave us a clue (until the family reveal, but that too...no hints to why he would've done that). Give me more complex characters and less GOTCHYA endings explained in every boring detail. sigh.
