Sometimes calling a movie “good” or “bad” doesn’t feel appropriate. Certain films just don’t fit such binaries. Francis Ford Coppola’s long-awaited Megalopolis is one of those movies, a fever dream of a picture that features all the highs and lows of a rambling fever dream. It’s as messy as the world around us.
Some critics call Megalopolis an inspiring vision, others a misfire, but Francis Ford Coppola is calling the film a dedication to hope.
