This kicked off so strongly! It's visually breathtaking and narratively intriguing, and for a good hour or so I thought I was watching one of the most underrated films of the last several years. But once A CURE FOR WELLNESS began to reveal its secrets, I found myself tediously watching a character fumble his way through a scenario that grew more obvious with each passing scene. The film's predictable elements don't derail it completely - it's still unusual enough to warrant a viewing - but it doesn't reach the potential it sets up for itself.

It sure does.

Shocked and A. Pauled.

Hey Ben,

Hope you're enjoying your balloon.

I was on Cineplex screens for over a year before you came along. You know how many magical balloons I got during my time there? None.
