56% on Rotten Tomatoes right now,so it`s rotten,which sucks.Still going to watch it though and I`ll reserve judgment until then. :diva2:

There's no critics consensus yet, so I hope a few positive reviews pour in at the last minute.

Critics' opinion is important of course but they aren't always absolutely right. It's all subjective. Try to judge movie by yourself, not by RT. After all it's just statistic.

Just finished watching it. It was great, performances by everyone were excellent, really intriguing story, interesting ideas. The ending... will require a lot of thinking back for me to fully understand it. Overall great movie.

9/10

Love it. I think Rooney has a T -shirt with that symbol ? or maybe is just look like

The symbol is this, right?

Oh, I don't remember if it was somewhere in the movie... I'll check that out later... looks like golden ratios of circles, not sure, I'm so sleepy, I'll check that out later too.

Charlie McDowell on making exposition interesting, the importance of regret, writing for your actors, and news of an upcoming adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel Zero K.

We knew that we wanted the character of the man who came up with the discovery, but we didn’t have our other main character or characters yet.

So I gave those pages to Rooney Mara, and she read it and really responded to what we were exploring, and said she wanted to be a part of the film. When one of the best young actresses on the planet says she wants to be in your movie, then you figure out a way to write a really good part, and a part that is ultimately the focal point to the piece.

I don’t think we would have done that if we hadn’t known that Rooney wanted to be a part of it. So, we focused on that, and then the rest of the characters fell into place. We just felt like this was the best way to tell the story.

I wouldn't really say that she's the comic relief, but she does have some humorous moments in the film.
