    Oooof… 

    An immense piece of filmmaking that is agonizingly powerful. Adrien Brody is unbelievable and the rest of the cast is no less than spectacular. Joe Alwyn stuck out to me as the snot-nosed, conniving, asshole son of Guy Pearce’s character. He pulls off being equal parts pathetic and villainous.

    “Pretty girls should always smile!”

    Not subtle in the least but I think that’s good for subject matter like this. OZEMPIC.

    “Has she started yet? Eating away at you?”

    The Margaret Qualley bandwagon is full, there’s no more room, I’ve been here since 2019. Beat it. 

    Demi Moore, come get your Oscar nomination. 
    Margaret Qualley, you are a star.
    Dennis Quaid, keep up the good work you demagogue. 

    Can’t wait to cop this on physical.

    John Carpenter’s score is unreal.

    I would commit atrocities for Snake Plissken’s hair.

    “When you were eleven, what did you think you would be doing now?”

    You know how people say something was like a “punch to the gut,” this movie was a steel chair to the back. 

    I may never recover emotionally.
    Parents are weird huh?

    Sexy, (very) sweaty, and incredibly scored.
