    Got a little off the rails towards the end but I’m not super mad about it. Satisfying ending speech though.

    Quite possibly the worst movie I’ve ever seen exclusively because of the writing. The actresses did a great job at developing their characters to be well-rounded and someone the audience could relate to so I have to give them credit, but the writing was so bad the movie didn’t have a fighting chance at being good.

    I was expecting this to be a silly goofy movie but it actually made me cry. It was a beautiful story about how trauma can affect the core of a human when not properly dealt with and how it completely twists the perspective of love and relationships. The ending reminded me of the feeling I had watching Midsommar. Maybe I’m reading too much into this movie, but I loved it and it’s an instant classic for me.

    Using Dracula and his familiar was an incredibly impactful way to portray the power a victim feels their abuser holds over them, and extremely accurate. Parts of the ending were a little too direct, but it was overall very cathartic. I even enjoyed Awkwafina, that’s how good this movie was. Quite possibly my favorite comedy movie.
