This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
Not perfect but had some solid moments.
There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I’m somewhere in the middle on The Surrender. It has enough atmosphere and intent to make sense as a recommendation. The movie has stretches where it really works, then other stretches where it slips out of your hands. I wouldn’t call it bad at all, just not a full knockout.
