Godzilla Minus One. I liked it a lot, but I had perhaps a less empathetic take than some. The movie is as much about PTSD as it is a menacing monster, but I found the writing of the main character and his emotional ordeals so unsubtle and stereotypical that I was more annoyed by him than anything. That said, some of the dialogue from the other characters about a post-military life in Japan was moving.

It might have been something about his acting that didn’t work for me, because a lot of the acting from the other characters was great.

Anyway, worth seeing.
