Good dramatic actors combined with campy and goofy and not really scary sounds great to me. To give you context, I loved Everything Everywhere and Poor Things. I'm willing to give this a try. The critiques I've read sounded like the screenplay is not brainless either, but doesn't really hold together well enough for the film to really work. Pitty if that's the case.

Poor things came to mind for me. That was a unique and thought-provoking take that also had great actors in Dafoe and Stone but didn't seem so try-hard cringe. And it just came out 2 years ago, which just makes this movie look even worse to me.
