    It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, and Benicio del Toro.

    Leaks about a test screenings say it’s 3hrs long and bat sh*t crazy. Like action sequences after action sequences. And it’s supposedly based on Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland.

    PTA movies are almost always interesting, if not good/great. I'll check this out.

    This ish is hilarious. Sean Penn, Benicia del Toro, Leo and the actress that plays Leo’s daughter being the highlights. Best film of the year so far. FYI, it’s very much an adult themed film. Like it could’ve been made in the 70s. There’s a ton of tonal shifts that may not vide with ppl but cinephiles and boomers raised on 70s cinema will like. Satire, thriller, daddy daughter drama. Really good. It’s like Nashville + The Searchers + Vanishing Point + Dr Strangelove all rolled into one.

    Saw it last night, best movie I’ve seen in theaters in awhile. It stays true to its title, once it gets going (which is very early) it doesn’t slow down for a moment and takes you along for the ride for 2.5 hours.

    Best movie of the year. This felt very early PTA works like boogie nights,magnolia and punch drunk love. Not quite those heights but the signature is still there.

    Y'all got me to watch it tonight.
    Don't know anything about the film, avoiding trailers to go in blind.

    It's as good as advertised. I was engaged the entire 3 hours. Best movie I've seen in awhile.

    I saw this today, and for those saying it was the best movie they had seen in awhile, I also echo those sentiments

    I highly recommend and would definitely watch again

    I gotta start off by saying that Teyana Taylor is fine as hell…Iman Shumpert with one of the biggest fumbles of the century messing that relationship up

    her Hennessy commercials are some of my favorite to watch for a reason

    loved Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro in this as well, and the daughter played by Chase Infiniti was also pretty good

    the movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes long, but it had my attention the entire time…some really suspenseful moments, and some funny moments throughout as well

    I died laughing when they brought up a semen demon

    I could definitely see them doing a 2nd movie

    Putting some faith in y'all and booked tix for Friday at an Alamo Drafthouse. Looking forward and enjoying knowing basically nothing about it.

    I read some people are comparing it to Eddington which I haven’t seen yet. Should I?
