This is very specific to me, but I’ve stood in the EXACT spot that the camera is in for one of the beach shots.
On a deeply subjective level, I think it really drove in the point that everything can change swiftly, then all at once in a place once familiar, so things will never be the same.
Times are tough in DC at the moment.
Stunning to look at, but I felt some of the story lacked some kind of X factor (may stem from not exactly being Colson Whithead’s biggest fan) but the finale did hit me hard. Bumping up half a star for that.
Very concerned though by the existence of many people walking out of the theatre stating they didn’t “get it.” Media literacy found dead in Miami.
Me, to myself, knowing absolutely nothing about Vincent Gallo other than he starred, wrote, and directed this movie: this man absolutely terrorized every woman on this set, didn’t he?
Looked it up and saw this grown ass man called a 17 year old girl “an ungrateful cunt” and “a puppet” and “fat.” Then claimed he had a crush on this teenager 20 years younger than him.
This behavior from a man who made a movie about a pretty teenage girl…
My love for this movie is proof that I am only truly happy when I am sad.
