incredible writing, incredible directing, incredible acting. nuanced, brilliant, funny and deeply sad. the tones of the overall trip, of the cousins' relationship, of the modern american jewish experience, of mental illness and grief and loss, were expertly juxtaposed. this film hit home incredibly hard in a lot of different ways for me. it really moved me and i think it will stay with me for a long time. trying to balance existential grief with personal despair with modern life is an impossibly tricky thing and i think eisenberg handled these themes incredibly well.
i love concepts like these but it rly suffered from bad writing, weird pacing, & clunky acting (which is sad bc i love all these actors)
i just wanna know what the thought process was for a man to write this lol. overly ambitious without the substance to back it up, whatever he was trying to say got totally lost and the moments that could have been cool ended up being cheesy. i'm sorry but this is incel cinema
