Or Something should have been right up my alley. I love movies where two strangers meet and spend the next few hours walking around, having discussions, and learning about each other. Before We Go, Weekend, Rye Lane, Paris 05:59, the f@#kin Before Trilogy. These are my jam. I as excited to watch this one. But Or Something is missing the main component. It's about boring people. It's about normies. People who talk about very typical things with very unoriginal perspectives.
Written by its stars, they just don't offer anything interesting for the 80 minutes they spend getting to know each other. I kept waiting for there to be something interesting discussed but instead they always talked like they were uttering an AI's version of what they think two people might talk about.
I appreciated the film's tour of NYC's average neighbourhoods. It felt authentic in its New Yorkness. The characters felt quite real. That's not my critique. They felt like very real... boring average people. And that just doesn't float my boat. So while I like the form, this content just didn't spark anything for me.
Or Something
