So, *Opus (2025)* hits the screens, and we’re greeted with the dazzling spectacle of John Malkovich playing a messianic pop star leading a death cult commune. Because, why not? It’s like if *The Menu*, *Midsommar*, and *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* had a chaotic love child under the A24 umbrella. How could it possibly miss the mark with such a perfect recipe? Spoiler: it does. It’s an art house classic that barely remembers the classic part, earning a measly 3 out of 5 stars. I guess the only thing more intense than the film is the disappointment of everyone who expected an avant-garde masterpiece. #Opus2025 #
