I think about the ending of Roger Ebert’s 2004 review of M Night Shyamalan’s The Village on a regular basis. It is a perfect piece of writing. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-village-2004
The Village movie review & film summary (2004) | Roger Ebert

"The Village" is a colossal miscalculation, a movie based on a premise that cannot support it, a premise so transparent it would be laughable were the movie

@dansinker God I hated that movie. Ebert's review of Synecdoche, New York is pretty great too, totally opposite assessment. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/synecdoche-new-york-2008
We strut and fret our hour upon the stage, and then are heard no more movie review (2008) | Roger Ebert

If we don't "go to the movies" in any form, our minds wither and sicken.
