    world’s longest cold open

    didn’t particularly vibe with the narration (especially in said cold open) and some scenes had… interesting choices regarding length and acting, but nothing could really make me hate a story like this. and those cute lil babby creepers 💚

Where TZoI allows you to be a fly-on-the-wall to the atrocities of Auschwitz, just as close but still with a degree of separation from them, Nickel Boys forces you to live, endure them with its first-person POV, with no escape, no…
