• Flashy opening titles are disliked as hard to read, with a dissent liking them.
• The 1979 Disco Demolition Night conflicts with the stated 1980 s setting.
• The abrupt late jump to Alice’s success and unemployment feels like a missing scene, while another response likes its novelistic ellipsis.
• Mental-health jokes might not be written now but fit the historical setting.
• Tara Subkoff’s limited acting and apparent offscreen dubbing evoke an amateurish indie-film practice; the character’s intended nature offers partial defense.
