ok there are a lot of valid criticisms of A24 and the culture around them, but saying that the majority of their films are heartfelt twee indie movies or tiktok movies is completely untrue
like you can read down the list of A24 films on Wikipedia, if anything the 'twee indie film' archetype is surprisingly underrepresented, and the bulk of the company's lifespan (and the movies that got them some reputation in the first place) are pre-tiktok explosion

Yeah, kinda true - and I have to respect the gambles that paid off when they invested in the careers of Aster and Eggers who have now continued to produce with A24.
I guess it's now that they're so big (especially since lockdown and their deals with gluttonous streaming platforms) that I feel like I can smell their marketing/audience research board members through the screen.
Damn they got a ton of solid and great movies on that list.
