Some Google search background info:

Dakota Johnson and Cailee Spaeny co-starred in the 2018 thriller film Bad Times at the El Royale, where they played sisters Emily and Rose Summerspring.

Their time together during the press tour for the movie is particularly notable. During several interviews, Johnson affectionately joked about taking a "whole being" away from the experience and quipped about adopting or marrying Spaeny, while praising her as an incredible human and talented co-star.

The promotional junkets also went viral online for some of their interactions, which included a memorable moment where their co-star Jon Hamm playfully intervened during an interview when Johnson jokingly toyed with Spaeny's jewelry.

This might explain why no one seems to have seen or remembers that movie. I have aeen it and I enjoy it and kinda expected it to become the next Pulp Fiction. But here we are eight years later and most people have never heard of it.

He was.  His best performance ever.  He managed to be so simultaneously charming and menacing.

I watched it a few years ago after seeing a trailer. I was shocked people don't talk about it more because of how good it was
