Peter Debruge of Variety writes that the blockbuster balances self-deprecating comedy with mental health concerns and relies on deep knowledge of obscure characters (better get to watching those Marvel movies in order) to make sense of the MCU going forward. Debruge agrees with the others that it’s Florence Pugh’s film, writing:

According to the actress, her grandmother was given an important power — and she took full advantage of it. Stopping by "Late Night With Seth Meyers" on Wednesday night, Pugh noted that both her grandmother and her mother spent about two weeks on set back in 2024 watching the movie film.
