I renounce my previous review. There is no cogent story here.
We’re invited to guess a lot of the motivations in this movie, especially regarding David, but any conclusions you might draw will only last a scene or two and then be completely upended.
Is this just a slowly unfolding plot, though? No, because, when you reach the conclusion and the character’s “actual” motivations are revealed, you’ll be able to track back and find them acting to the contrary.
Applying Occam’s razor, rather than conclude that this is an extremely complex and naunced story, with many philosophical meditations on existence, it’s baldly obvious this is just a bunch of preconceived set pieces/visuals/story beats, lifted straight off the studio pitch story boards, and pasted together with a “story” glue made of bullshit.
