I feel like everyone has had a movie partially spoiled by a trailer but I also feel like descriptions, movie posters, and even genre tags can be a give away and make a plot twist or scene less impactful.
One movie I vaguely remember watching without any context was the 2021 movie Oxygen. I enjoyed it but I feel like it would have been slightly more predictable if I had looked at the genre tags and that would have effected my enjoyment.
I feel like you need to have a pretty good sense of someone’s tastes to make a “trust me”-style recommendation like this.
Primer
I don’t understand Primer now.
It’s pretty straightforward
Yeah I went in having heard quite a lot about it, and I still had to watch several times to piece together what happened.
It is executed in a way that is consistent and well done if you know what is going on, but also convoluted and kind of boring if you don’t catch all the details or understand everyone’s motives.
I think it is vastly overrated, but likely because I only watched it once and hated the characters. Like it is fine, just more confusing than mind bending.
