I was really hyped to see this movie, especially to see the multiverse visualization and it was the first film I wanted to watch in a cinema for years.

I also wanted to watch it on my birthday in an open air cinema but that didn't happen due to torrents of rain and I am glad. Why?

This movie celebrates naturalistic violence. It starts innocently enough depicting a realistic family facing all kinds of struggles, mostly about money and relationships.

Then it suddenly descends into graphic cruelty towards average people (think a tax officer, low level unarmed government building security or innocent bystanders).

If you enjoy average people viciously hit in the face, necks snapped and inflicting pain this one is for you.

I watched this with my date who was a victim of brutality (indeed her face was broken once) so I suggested to leave the cinema after 20 minutes or so as the graphic violence just got worse and worse.

We went home and had some intimate sex instead. That was the best part of the movie.

The multiverse idea is just used as an excuse to justify depictions of sadism and gore. The fact that this celebration of naturalistic violence received so many Oscars proves the poor state of our world and how numb audiences are who actually laugh about physical harm inflicted to their fellow human beings.

And don't think that I did not watch some Eastern type of movies in the past where supernatural fighters would fly and do kung fu in fantasy historical settings. This movie here is different in that people like me and you get hurt.
