    Always surreal to think that Zendaya was filming the first season of Euphoria around the time this was made. Imagine filming a scene from this film, where MJ says a quirky line of dialogue behind a massive green screen, in front of Tom Holland in a mo-cap costume, the next she's filming a scene where Rue has a mental breakdown, and then fucking OD's.

    Also the scene where Mr. Harrington is talking about how his wife pretended to "blip" was hilarious. Why wasn't the film filled with more of this kind of humour?

The characters might be some of the most fucked up people you'll ever meet but at least they are real; more than anything a modern day Hollywood film can offer.
