He wrote this for white people—white women— and it shows. I wanted to like it but also left a weird feeling in me (pre reading reviews) on how he’s portraying his immigrant experience which I was like, well, I shouldn’t judge it if it’s HIS experience right?..hmm… And, he likes only white women and somehow couldn’t find anything interesting in all the Pakistani girls he met.. and some Brown guys are unfortunately like that, right?… HMM…. Yeah not looking good.…

A Real Pain 2024
A full, staticky, ball of emotion in friendships/brotherhood in a way that felt so authentic and messy. I really enjoyed this movie. Reminded me of people I’ve encountered in my life (both Culkin and Eisenberg’s characters).
Got me in my feels, and is making me think on how we impact people close to us.

Tall Dark and Handsome 2023
Lots to think about for 15 min! I will say, the YouTube comments were like “see that’s what you get for giving into your insecurities” but I’m fully convinced she DID have an Indian fetish, and he has 1000% rights to be permanently uncomfortable with that attraction, and that she changed up her dating habits after being called out. So I don’t agree with a lot of the “you ruined your relationship with blondie from your insecurities of assuming she was racist” when she was, indeed, racist/ignorant of her fetish.
Interesting.
