Leave me alone; I'm going through something.

Cycles of colonialism/oppression/rebellion/terrorism are exhausting and seemingly constant, but Say Nothing does a decent job of telling this particular story, chock full of notable players and a healthy dose of nuance. I did not enjoy the back half -- the show suddenly paints Adams and Mar as the de facto villains, and their storylines lacked the nuance that all the other characters get. The show felt like it kinda flattened out towards the end, maybe for that reason or just because the tonal shift was so abrupt. Incredible performances, though. Young Dotes and Mar feel particularly memorable to me.
My urge to commend Charles Melton is overwhelmed by how much I fucking hated this movie, which seems to be about how white actresses all have the same plastic surgeon and that predators are extra interesting when they're women. I'd like to never think about it again please and thanks

Maybe the biggest let-down of my year due to high expectations. Went to see this with my 91-year-old Jewish grandmother, and she felt the same. In theory, I love the point Eisenberg is trying to make about degrees of pain, how we feel about our own suffering, and how our emotions affect others. This movie felt subtle when I wanted it to be explicit, and then in the next minute they'd be explaining the point word for word.
Both actors…
