    This movie seriously has me questioning if my parents pay attention to subtext in movies because this is incredibly gay and I was watching it when I was 9 and still thought I was straight and christian with their permission.

The cinematography, the script, the acting, the directing. It's just such a good movie.

    This is really a fantastic movie. Robert Pattinson 100% deserves an Oscar nomination next year I don't care how early this is. Mark Ruffalo feels a little bit like what if Baby Billy from The Righteous Gemstones was evil but he still crushes the performance. I do wish there had been more Toni Collette. She doesn't really have a ton to do here but she's great with what she has. There's this one scene towards the end with her that's…
