Brett CollinsHOST
Well, it's like on one hand, I remember very specific things.
Brett CollinsHOST
And then other things like this, I definitely said that Suzanne Bier has worked with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock before, but I completely forgot about that until just now.
Brett CollinsHOST
But my thing is, is that I'm not obsessed with anything that Suzanne Bier has directed.
Brett CollinsHOST
I know that a lot of people loved Bird Box.
Brett CollinsHOST
I feel like I fell asleep every time I watched it.

Sonia MangatHOST
Zach Kreger is back at it again.
Justin HensonHOST
which gave me more of an emotional feeling than the first movie did, to be perfectly honest.
Justin HensonHOST
But as we get past the first act, our director, Suzanne Bier, seems to want to play everything in slow motion.
Justin HensonHOST
How the cast delivers their lines, how the shots just linger, and normally this wouldn't be a problem if a movie had something to say, for the viewer to kind of just take it in.
Justin HensonHOST

Justin HensonHOST
where when we wake up, we can see potential in it.
Justin HensonHOST
But our writers, Akiva Goldsman, Georgia Pritchett, and Kelly Marcel seem to want to make a generational point with no director behind the wheel to make it feel impactful.
