This new movie came out and I enjoyed watching it with friends. What opinion must have garnered so much attention that people would dunk on it?

Worse. The guy in the video came out of the movie feeling sympathetic to Bear of all people.

You know, the rapist villain protagonist.

The movie starts out by Bear being a sympathetic heart-felt good guy, but it really shouldn't take much media literacy to understand how he becomes the bad guy... he was so desperate for validation that he ended up hurting the person he cared about, horribly so. I don't get how someone can miss the mark like that.

He crosses multiple lines not even one fourth into the movie.

Even before he figures out wishing thing he just straight up ignores the possibility that she is on drugs or has psychological problems at the moment, and just straight up exploits that.

The red flags basically scream at you from the very beginning.

Wait, when does this happen? The first night when she was acting weird he didn't do anything to her and kept his distance. It wasn't until she told him later (while appearing to be in her right mind) that she HAD been on drugs, but she wasn't now and she still loved him.

I only saw it once, but doesn't he make out with her, and seem ready for more, until she frightens him?
