Pacing kind of goes off the rails in the second half, but this is still totally charming and honest and I loved both leads.

Feel like most of these would have some forced moralistic conversation to get through it

Unfortunately the plague of above the fray ironic theater laughers continues to spread, but still had a great time watching this on the big screen. Def felt like it could have gone a lot deeper / more interesting psychosexually/thematically but more than compensates with atmosphere+imagery+performance in what ends up feeling closer to a straight good vs evil tale. Ending scene was incredible
