    The buildup was better than the climax and the conclusion, but was still a very engaging and thought provoking film. It’s always fascinating and moving to see a film that is a both a work of art and political statement piece.

    Kieran Culkin’s character was insufferable to me. I don’t think I felt for his character as much as the film wanted me to, unfortunately. I could barely watch he made me so uncomfortable. I found him more rude and annoying than vulnerable and tender, yet both sides definitely exist within him. I did like all the supporting characters and how they were written and featured in the film.

    Director’s cut:

    Adds a new layer to the cathartic conclusion and makes me think more critically about the Harga, something I probably should have done after the theatrical cut but it’s brought much more into focus here.

    Inside out take 2. Not necessarily better...
