    it’s ok lazzaro baby we all get way too involved with a life ruining mean twink at least once in our lives

    has some beautiful moments, and some
    utterly heartbreaking and painfully real moments. lost me a couple times but generally really solid. loved the moments where the non-diegetic became diegetic

    were it not for the rampant sexual assault i would say these guys are some admirable hijinks and shenanigans connoisseurs. unfortunately the sexual assault. kinda goes nowhere and loses its charm when it goes from jackass pranks to escalating levels of tasteless grotesque bullshit. the gentle elementary school beat down is one of the trashiest laughs i’ve ever had ngl. baffling sound design.

    this was TIGHT. i’ve liked a couple new movies this year but this was the first i really truly loved. paced perfectly, shot beautifully, an absolute joy to follow. simple, efficient, just incredibly well done. couple little things that i didn’t love but nothing major. just a really damn solid piece of filmmaking. doesn’t do anything that hasn’t been done before, but it does it all really fucking well. you don’t have to reinvent the wheel if you can make a damn good wheel. bonus points for a squeeze appearance, great use of up the junction lmao

    a little blunt in its parallels but a generally very good time. the toyota mr2 didn’t have fucking back seats

    edit: i just remembered at one point one of the friends i saw this with leaned over to me and said “this is like rick and morty” and im docking half a star for how right they kinda were
