    So many vulnerable kids out there and how are we helping them realize who they really want to be? What can I do in my role to help kids have that epiphany that Will inevitably has. I can’t help but think about that every time I watch this film. Therapy saves lives.

    As a cisgendered person, I simply think the allegory of the film missed me. It’s a beautiful film that evokes a lot of nostalgia through its visuals and music, but I found the narrative a bit lackluster. Need to watch again sometime as I know there’s more depth to it than what I got.

    All the yahoos saying we need another civil war needs to watch this asap. I didn’t love any of the characters, but the themes did resonate with me. Feels like I need to watch again to appreciate it more.

    Space MAGA fs around and finds out. I thought this was going to be a carbon copy of Moon, but it had so much more to say about 2025’s global political climate. Pattinson was great as Mickey(s), Ruffalo was a fun space Trump, Tony Collette is serving as usual, and Naomi Ackie was explosive as well. Really enjoyed this film, and while it’s definitely not Parasite, it’s a fun little outlet for Bong to switch things up a bit and bring some satire to his oeuvre.
