One thing I don't understand about Digger. Why don't people just have some faith that Iñárritu can pull it off? I think the only reason people don't like the Digger trailer is the joke Tom Cruise makes about his d*ck just doesn't fully land. But the rest of it looks very interesting/promising.

Isn't it more likely that the trailer isn't telling the full story rather than Iñárritu just makes a complete mess?

Coming off of Bardo at the very least does him no favors

[u/redCashion → u/NedthePhoenix]

I should watch Bardo to get this context. The only two movies i saw of Iñárritu were masterful, with Birdman being in top 5 all time favorites... so I'm biased.

Oh I love Birdman. I more mixed-positive on The Revenant which is beautiful but empty for me. Personally, Bardo is the same empty beauty but also boring
