Writing is the only thing that matters. I point to "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "Amsterdam". The latter of which had 4x the budget.

I kinda disagree with the writing being the ultimate decider on what makes a good story) movie. Directing and editing matters just as much, if not more so. Those two brings to life what is written on the page because sometimes it's hard to imagine what is described on the page.

Good writing, directing and editing are all necessary, and are not on their own sufficient.

Because a bad effect, actor, or shot can only ruin a moment. A bad script ruins the story.

I quite enjoyed amsterdam. It's not better than everything everywhere but it's still a good film

Well to be fair I had way too much weed beforehand but like. Ehhhhh. It felt like a circlejerk for random famous people. Also Taylor Swift cannot act.

Why not just read a book, then?
