    I feel like this movie, as it drags on, tries to say a lot, and then a lot more, and ends up undermining its thesis.

    So many gorgeous, astonishing shots. So much haunting, touching music. And in service of what?

    I've seen much discourse about this being a new American epic, with a tale about the immigrant experience that is sure to be spoken of for generations to come!

    -Depictions of awkwardness with no point other than "doesn't this suck" are just as bad as scenes of prolonged vomit

    -Facebook Aunt tier humour

    -already loves a lot of the musicians in this film
    -named Maddy
    -worked as a theatre employee before coming out
    -loves analog horror
    -grew up watching girly cartoons and loving them

    I know a lot of people recognized the bold stylistic choices in this, but struggled to connect with the characters.

    That's how I've felt about a lot of movies, critically acclaimed or not, over my years as a movie lover.

    This one's for me.

    LMAO.

    Also really love the bit where Adam Driver is supposed to be talking to a person in the audience and the frame just looks like it was actually edited incorrectly in Premiere or something.
