FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/foe-bfi-london-film-festival-review-one-of-the-messiest-scripts-of-the-year/

"Foe presents one of the messiest screenplays of the year, filled with incessant, unnecessary explanations through numerous narrative and visual methods, abruptly confusing time shifts, absurdly devoid of any sort of impact, and a strange message, to say the least, about the superiority of AI in human intimate relationships.

At just under two hours, it manages to slowly drag itself to a multiple-ending conclusion, none capable of delivering any relevant information that wasn't already given beforehand.

The cast does the best they can, but it's way too far from enough to rescue a movie doomed to leave its audience underwhelmed."

Rating: D-
