Zach Cregger’s follow-up to Barbarian is the new hit film Weapons. While there are many hot takes that make no sense for the film, one really bothered me. And it was people saying that it wasn’t a movie about anything.
On social media, I saw a sea of responses saying that Weapons ended up not being about anything and that’s the opposite of the truth. Part of the plot of the film is centered around the parents of the missing children trying to find their kids and their determination to bring them back. It is an exploration of grief and how all consuming it can be and Cregger did say that it was how he coped with the death of someone close to him.
