    Must a movie be “good”? Is it not enough to see Paul Dano wearing a sexy red dress?

    “Soon after i killed myself, i got a job here at Kamikaze pizza.” 

    This movie is so candid and silly and heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time. Makes me feel things I’ll never be able to thoroughly express and makes me think about the times I’ve been in dark place w suicidal thoughts. My impulsivity in those moments scare me and sometimes i feel I’m fighting towards a light that doesn’t really exist but this makes me feel like there is always something or someone to live for.

    Also ahhh fuck the “miracle” subplot?? I’m gonna have a headache from crying
