I feel like A24 trailers often have one vibe and the actual movies have another vibe. Honestly, I'd have to think about it to offer actual examples, so take that with a grain of salt.

This only gets half of the equation.

I remember. I bring the running time up as it feels as too many "important" movies feel like they go on forever when it's over 140 minutes or longer. Some movies warrant a longer running time but a lot of times they need better editing.
