Can't Feel Nothing tries to tackle a big topic with a light touch, and while it has its moments, it sometimes feels a bit too on-the-nose.

Show more >> Can't Feel Nothing tries to tackle a big topic with a light touch, and while it has its moments, it sometimes feels a bit too on-the-nose. The film’s premise about social media-induced numbness is relevant, but the humour often misses the mark, making it feel more like a lecture than an exploration. The performances are decent, and there are definitely laugh-out-loud moments, yet the emotional depth feels somewhat lacking. By the time the credits roll, you might find yourself questioning whether it truly captured the essence of the issue at hand. It’s not a bad film, but it could have pushed deeper. Worth a watch if you're in the mood for something light, but don’t expect profound insights. Show less
