What people are saying
Updated nightlyIt's a divisive watch that leaves people feeling pretty bleak, mostly due to a poorly received story and a grim take on Ted Kaczynski. Russell Crowe's performance as Professor Henry Murray gets some respect, and Jacob Tremblay's acting is mentioned positively, but the plot about Kaczynski's transformation and the FBI manhunt is widely seen as slow, unoriginal, and depressing. The film seems to lean so hard into the darkness of its subject that many find it a flat, unpleasant slog without much new to say.
