Don’t really think Borisov did anything particularly worthy of an Oscar nod, tho it was a nice performance. Demi Moore still would’ve been my pick for Best Actress but also still happy for Mikey Madison. Windshield wipers felt like a haunting

Also fun to think about how The Matrix was released just one year later lol. Lil bit of 1984 and Clock Tower in here too.
