You can always count on Dylan to start hitting on the characters once he’s bored with the movie

I think in the original script Jack (Harry Styles character) was supposed to be way more angry, manipulative, and abusive. Not the toned down version in the film. There was also more signs about Alice having a different life. Like whenever she would wash her hands, she would wash them really throughly like a surgeon and stuff like that.

It actually makes sense that she notices all those weird things but doesnt do anything cause when you're asleep you don't question anything that happens to you in a dream, you just follow

This movie reminded me of those story ideas that randomly pop up in my brain when I'm half asleep, and at that time my brain is like "holy shit that's the most groundbreaking idea ever, I got to wake up and write it down because it gonna make me famous", but when I read it the next morning I realise it doesn't make any sense

Dylan simping over Gemma's character is the most relatable part

the fact that this is a psychological thriller and dylan is slowly losing in mind makes it more perfect

Dylan screaming, “I DON’T EVEN KNOW THEIR NAMES! What about the eggs!!” During the sex scene on the dinner table 😂😂

Dylan is not wrong about how Shia's crazy acting would have been perfect in this.

Dylan not knowing people used newspaper to clean the windows makes him look younger than that nose ring ever could

This movie really feels like a real movie I’m glad you’re finally watching a REAL movie

I love how Dylan expresses more emotion watching the movie than any of the characters did the whole film

i feel like if the movie started with her being taken to the facility and harry styles screaming in the car, and then the whole movie is her trying to remember what she was trying to solve, and then we get introduced to the world through her eyes from the people gently reminding her of it from her memory loss, which then leads to the plot twist Jack was (something other people have suggested also) some nurse who stalked her, making it creepier...it could actually be a real movie with the material and ideas that they had but chose to make it 'artsy' and lost direction

8:35 i don’t think we give dylan enough credit, he caught such a specific moment that most people didn’t see

the real psychological thriller here was watching dylan slowly descend into madness. very entertaining, had me on the edge of my seat. would watch again

The fact that Dylan guesses it’s a simulation almost immediately

Feels like this should have been a 22 minute Twilight Zone episode

We owe the actor who plays Hardin an apology cause he does a pretty good Harry

dylan guessing the plot accidentally in the first 3 minutes at 2:44 is the best part of this video

Daniel radcliffe wouldve been the perfect cast for charming psychopathic british husband and you cant convince me otherwise

Dylan having beef with the language and subtitle options had me laughing so hard

I’m so glad Dylan laughed at the plastic wrap scene because my sister and I were dying in the cinema and everyone else was SILENT

i actually love when dylan legitimately dissects films. like he makes jokes and its funny, but there are also real examination of what went wrong, what could have been done better, what was done right....

the movie feels like that high school short film you do where you already had a script but as filming started you wanted to. make changes so you made changes but when crunch time came you realize your original script was better but there's no time to shoot the new missing scenes so you had to make do with what you had by making it look cool with how you edited and compiled everything your team did and only realized after post-production that it was a shitshow.

Watching him swoon over Gemma Chan the whole movie was hilarious and amazing💀

Crazy how Dylan unintentionally figured out the entire movie in less than 5 minutes

honestly i think dylan was more surprised at finding out what a lobotomy actually is than the entire plot of the movie i mean, fair

What you said about Shia was SO TRUE ! If he was the main actor the quality of this movie would've been so much better bc he would've brought some CRAZY reaction out of Florence.

so glad i didn't waste my time actually watching this movie and decided to just watch this instead lmfao

The fact that he guessed the plot twist in three different ways throughout this video is both impressive and not shocking at all given how underwhelming the actual twist is

SEMI-SPOILER: Very impressed by how it took Dylan less than 3 minutes to unintentionally decipher the truth behind it all.

Funny how Dylan showed more emotion and anger at the pause button / audio option drama than Harry did throughout the entire film...

dylan’s ongoing battle with the audio/subtitles menu will never not be funny to me

So, I actually read the orignal script by the Van Dyke brothers while I was a Development Intern at a film production company, way before the second rewrite or any stars' attachment. It was messy even then, but it had closure. In the original script, we learn that 'Alice' (name changed from Evelyn) is in the simulation about 3/4's through the script. There were multiple portals around the town that the men could enter back to the real world through. She escapes through one of them, waking in the simulation machine in 2050. She climbs out, walks around the apartment where she discovers that her ex husband 'Jack' (originally Clifford) had kidnapped her and forced her into the machine/simulation. She was actually a famous surgeon, but he faked her death. Clifford then returns home, they fight, she kills him and escapes. The end, lol. It seems the original script was a much more overt critiscim of the horrors of misogyny. Clifford was basically an incel and the simulation was for men who felt emasculated by the women around them being more succesful than them. So, their fantasy was to return to the time where women were 'put in their place as housewives'. Also there was no Chris Pine character or Olivia Wilde's character lol. They went to such lengths in the final film to 'keep you guessing' that no one knew what the fuck was going on by the end lmao

The cinematography is all this movie has going for it.

i just don't understand why EVERY director for thriller/horror movies make their characters so incompetent in order to build suspense. there is no reason for alice to be standing around so long after bunny explicitly tells her they are going to kill her. alice's LIFE has been threatened and yet no fight or flight response kicks in until it is nearly too late. the whole car chase would still be just as suspensful if alice runs away immediately like a rational person would do in that situation. there is no logical reason for alice to be standing around, especially after knowing what she is capable of since she just murdered her husband without a second thought.

when i watched this in the cinema, everyone in the audience was laughing at harry’s acting. i think that speaks for itself😭

Dylan gaslighting us and trying to deceive us into thinking today is Monday, is the best part of the video

True Facts: -Dylan has a real nose piercing -He is finished with his book and is writing the sequel -He is very serious, no jokes -He went to a real college, no scams there -Today is Monday, not Friday

I think the feelings of watching things in a loop was intentional to reflect how Alice was living in a loop. Things freaked her out but she was so brainwashed to live in this world without questions that she didn't. I also like that Harry acted calm because he knew what was up and was trying his best to keep the peace of what he had created for them. The ending was a bit underwhelming and left a lot of stuff unanswered but I really liked the art of it all

Dylan's reaction to the fucking subtitles popping up for the tenth time was a lot more psychotic than Harry's reaction to Florence accusing him of being psychotic.

props to Dylan for his consistency, I'm blown away by how he always uploads a movie commentary every Monday

2:45 the fact that dylan managed to figure the secret out two minutes into the video and then continued to wonder what the secret was is killing me

I would love to see a movie with this kind of twist (with good writing ofc) but with Bill Hader, that man knows how to play a psychopath

florence pugh and the cinematography carried this whole movie. after watching it i understand that the intention was to leave the viewer confused because we were following the story though alice’s eyes. it really doesn’t make any sense while watching it though. also: when olivia wilde told alice to leave now i kept screaming go and it was so aggravating oh my god

i appreciate dylan sacrificing his sanity for us

The fact that Harry's character is exactly like Hardin amuses me. It's so on-brand and I don't even know that the guy playing Hardin knew this would happen in the future

The original script was so much better than the final product, but Olivia for some reason decided to water the story And harry's character down, he was supposed to be this crazy dude that kidnapped Alice before she could divorce him or something like that, but made him into him just wanting a "better life" for them both, which i think was in part bc of harry's audience, so they could see him as an "ideal man" (which believe it or not, actually worked) Also, in that last scene where Alice walked out of her house and was walking aimlessly, was supposed to be her walking up to that girl that kiIIed herself earlier, but again, for some reason, Olivia decided to cut a lot of her scenes out of the movie, so it just looks dumb, her just walking towards nothing... i think this movie would've been so much better if it had a different director but oh well 🤷‍♀️

Dylan being so mad at the audio bar is so much more entertaining than the entire movie.

Dylan laughing when she wraps her face made me feel less like a crazy person for doing the exact same thing

The reason she was using newspaper to clean the window is because it simply works better than towels. It absorbs more and doesn’t leave behind lint.

“i need punishment” DYLAN IM CRYING

I love Dylan's segways into sponsors. They're always so random and funny💀❤️

Dylan begging Harry to act better has so much more emotion than anything Harry said in the movie

“I’d feel like I’m in a simulation” Dylan proving he’s psychic every video (or cutting out the ten times he guessed the wrong plot)

I almost watched this and now I’m glad I didn’t because I definitely would’ve hated it, thanks for taking one for the team. Did everyone a solid.

I feel like this movie could be really good if it were a short film :)

this movie has SO many issues but i think the biggest one is how sanitized harry’s character is. he’s supposed to be abusive, manipulative, controlling, and violent, but they hide all of that and it takes so much away from the movie

i personally would like to thank dylan for saving me from watching this film out of curiosity. your suffering was not in vain

Dylan figuring out the plot twist of the movie two minutes in just because of the car shot 😂😂😂

Dylan, it’s really important to me that you know that cleaning glass with newspaper is actually a thing and very effective 😅

i am impressed by Dylan being home alone and watching movies with his noise-canceling headphones on for hours and not tiny bit worrying about whether someone has broken into his home

Dylan's anger at the pop up hit harder than Harry in this movie 😂

23:15 you know just what type of movie this is when Dylan goes *error*

Dylan’s face when he realizes he forgot his nose ring is better than some movies he commentates 😅

Truly, I never realized how close the after series got to real life until the “drama scene” and his yelling really just hit the “fUckiNg trevuh” nail on the head

It not "watch until I hate myself " it's "watch until I become a madman"😭😭😭😭🤣🤣😭 23:23

1 - the original script is way different but i'd say it's better 2 - it's easier to clean glass with newspapers, if you clean with the wrong kind of fabric towels you get streaks

fun fact: in the 50s/60s (I believe) it was very common to clean windows with newspapers as that leaves less streaks than with a cloth

the anxiety I feel during every video waiting for dylan to segway into the sponsor segment will forever be unmatched

“I’d feel like I was in a simulation” not Dylan clocking the movie 2:57 into it 😭😂

Not me feeling embarrassed that it took me a whole movie to realize what Dylan realized 2 minutes in.

Dylan's hatred for Harry Styles' acting somehow has more passion and intensity than Harry's acting itself

Florence wasn’t acting when Harry left. She was genuinely shocked at how underwhelming Harry’s acting is.

dylan being more invested on the pause button other than the movie says a lot about it

24:20 flo trying his ass off there to carry the movie

dylan has more conflict with the subtitle menu than anyone in this film has with each other lmaooo

I need a compilation of every time Dylan has just remembered he wasn’t wearing the nose ring, him being triggered by streaming service glitches, and many others cause they make me laugh so much 😂😂

i love that harry styles said “it feels like a movie” despite it definitely NOT feeling like a movie

30:24 Is it just me, or does he sound like Hardin in this scene?

not even 2 minutes into the video and dylan already wished for death. i love his consistency.

The fact that every sensible person who has seen this movie makes essentially the exact same criticisms is insane. It’s not even a bad movie it’s just not doing what movies are supposed to do and Olivia Wilde expects us to be ok with that. It’s weird

17:49 my sister walked past me watching this part on my laptop. Keep in mind I was laughing out loud. She takes a peek in to see what's so funny. And she's like "Bro! What are you watching?" I just laughed even more "And why are you laughing? Shouldn't you be worried for the actor or something?" And I just point at Dylan coz he was laughing too.

Dick Van Dykes grandchildren wrote the original script which was waaay better than the final movie. But Olivia wanted to rewrite it

florence carrying this whole movie is basically the only reason it's remotely watchable

One thing for sure, Florence carried that whole movie. She really did her best. The monotone in Harry is so real you’ll notice the camera focuses on the other characters more even when he’s delivering his lines (case in point my policeman, Emma carried that whole movie as well) . Nevertheless hollywood has ran out of ideas and i guess this is the truman version for the younger generation who never watched Truman show

Dylan’s reaction to finding out what a lobotomy is cracked me up so hard 😂😂😂

Dylan being thirsty for Gemma Chan is so valid.

Dylan basically said "go on, Harry. give us NOTHING" and i can appreciate that because SAME lmao

the pure panic on Dylan's face when he realised he forgot his nose ring had me cackling

14:14 people usually (at least in my country) clean windows with newspaper bc it does not leave prints or smth like that

The fact Dylan doesn’t know that cleaning windows with newspaper is a thing and it was extremely effective

I am SO glad he decided to watch this so I don't have to! Thank you for service and losing your will to live for us, Dylan

I honestly found Harry’s lack of emotion more terrifying than any emotion could be

14:01 Newspapers are actually great for cleaning mirrors and windows, really any glass surface. The housekeepers at the hotel I worked at would use that instead of rags.

When I saw that building the first time watching the movie, I really hoped it was a UFO. I was disappointed 😭😂

SPOILER ALERT: One thing I think is the reason she’s not really reacting is because she’s stuck in the simulation, she doesn’t have control. Every time that something unsettling happens, she snaps back. Almost like her brain is fighting but it can’t win. And first time she manages to exit the simulation, Jack puts her back into it.

The idea isn't horrible: men insecure in their relationships turn to a guru like Frank who gives them the means to be in control of their partners and the dominant party in their relationships. The simulation being set in the 50s is good at showing the husband-wife dynamic they want. With internet incel and alpha male culture being what it is and how women's autonomy over their own bodies is still something that needs to be fought for, the massaging in the film is relevant and worth exploring... it just absolutely fails to be an interesting or enjoyable movie. How good or important the themes are means nothing if people can't even watch the film cause it's shit. And even then the themes fall flat with Bunny being a twist villain and Harry (and the writing) failing to present Jack as an insecure, controlling bastard in subtle ways that become more blatant as Alice challenges him more and more. Wasted potential, honestly.

Who wants to see Dylan direct his own movie

the fact that dylan predicted the movie in the first two minutes and then moved on to say “i wonder what the mystery is” im screaming

I was hesitant to watch because I didn’t want to spoil the film, but I 110% made the right choice watching this reaction in place of the film. I wouldn’t have made it through the movie w/o Dylan’s signature comments.
