    watched this last night and it wasn’t a so bad it’s good thing, it was a so bad I have to watch it in 10 minute increments and it took me five hours. gets a star solely for the amount of taylor swift references they were able to pack into the dialogue because it was honestly impressive.

    best movie of the year to me. I thought i’d have a silly quippy review like “catholic gossip girl” but it was legitimately one of the most moving, thought provoking films i’ve seen in a long time. it made me feel for people I despise and reconsider the purpose of faith in our lives. the way it dealt with gender and identity felt genuinely fresh and insightful (emilia perez you could never). it Moved me, which is really all I ask a film to do.

    bonus: it was beautifully shot and genuinely funny
