    Oh my. I was prepared for an extreme last 45 minutes. But that managed to shock me nonetheless. Might be off base but saw homages to some wonderful movies (Requiem for a Dream, The Fly, Alien). You don’t need me to analyze the themes. They’re self-evident, better left for women to speak on, but nonetheless really important. Not a movie to be watched alone, watching with a friend will definitely add to the experience.

    A solid, simple story. I am most definitely a Kieran Culkin fan, whether TV, movie, or awards speeches. I’ve had a few friends like Benji throughout my life. I definitely resonated with the Benji experience; the vacillating thrill of being in the person’s orbit with the fear of their unpredictability and the suffocating sadness of their loneliness. I know I’m not the only one wondering if this is the Kieran Culkin experience too.

    Nobody’s better at mixing bittersweet with comedy than Apatow. Great performances. Always been a fan of Bill Burr as a comedian, shows a little extra here. That Kid Cudi song has burrowed into my brain and shows no indication of relenting. Oh and my little girl is adorable as Kelly. 😃

    The family and I have been intrigued by this one since seeing the trailer. Definitely didn’t disappoint, but not a perfect movie. Really enjoyed all the performances. Would’ve liked it if they held onto the twist a bit longer to build on the tension and bizarre vibes. My biggest issue was I thought it fell apart in the final act. Up to that point though I was really enjoying the ride.
