    This movie hit so hard. Gave me big parasite vibes where the first half you know something fucked is going to happen but are still unprepared when shit hits the fan.

As a non-Catholic who grew up in a catholic school system and then as a mega-cringe high schooler, this movie absolutely nailed it on the head in terms of showing a realistic experience. I was immersed in the narrative after just a few minutes. Cut to an hour later and I’m crying maybe the hardest a movie has ever…
