The script is freely available online (I believe it's been that way since the project was announced) and it's 129 pages long, so I guess the runtime is fair.

Too lazy to read it tho and don't want to be spoiled, plan on seeing it opening day.

Sorry for the double post, but it's getting an IMAX release apparently.

MPAA: Rated R for language throughout, some sexual content and graphic nudity

Well, there’s also this article with Josh O’Conner…

Hopefully they didn’t cut that from the movie then lol.

Social media reactions, from a reddit post:



Looks like another Guadagnino banger. Review embargo lifts April 12, two weeks before release, which is a good sign.

Guadagnino has a good track record and I expect this movie will be good, but reactions from Twitter hypemen mean less than nothing.

Both IMAX and Dolby Cinema. They're running TV commercials with the logos. I happened to catch the trailer on last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Review embargo lifted, seeing nothing but very positive reviews from all the big sites.

Currently 100% on RT from 14 reviews.

Metacritic

Sorry for going there, but perhaps it's an Oscar contender.

Which is fine. Art is subjective and a film review is (or should be) someone reporting their individual experience to viewing said work.

He literally hates everything and then will randomly give a glowing review to a widely panned children’s movie.

Orndorf strikes again! Dude's a pretentious attention seeking clown with a capital C, and his "reviews" should never be taken with anything more than a grain of salt. Boring day at the office and need a laugh? By all means dive in for a read.

I didn’t read the article yet. I’m trying to avoid spoilers. I thought the first trailer was really spoilery. I didn’t think it was necessary for them to show that Zendaya’s character

[Show spoiler]ends up marrying one of the guys. Luckily I’ve forgotten which one it is.

Don't look up the cast then, because the character names will instantly tell you who she's married to.
