    Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong gave the best performances of 2024, no doubt. The film was funny and creative.

    Touching, daring, sad and hopeful... this film gets the right things at the right time for people to get into their feelings... A tad too gloomy at times, its animation at its finest. Proof that animation can be made not only for "adults" but also for "humans" as it was intended and made by.

    Pd. The "Pray the gay away" scene was hilarious.

    Massive yet claustrophobic, this film invites you to consider how easily one can become seduced by the American dream, as if it were heroin. However, only Pearce's performance is award-worthy. Brody's just hits the mark, and Laszlo's does the same. I applaud the attempts at artistry. The photography, costume design, and score are excellent. That's all for me.
