    Sth Abt the way the film depicted every instance of touch, be it human to human or human to substance had sm impact/sensuality(?)
    Excellent lighting and color grading but the color itself idk if it was just my theatre but it felt so dark I couldn't actually see as much as I wanted to. Same with the audio design I fuck with the score heavy esp paired with the visuals but I struggled to understand dialogue in multiple instances. points…

    I've never laughed so much while watching a movie. Easily the funniest movie I have ever seen while also being oh so scary.

    I often wonder, "what's the worst that can happen" and damn does this movie depict the very worst possible outcome, realizing the horrors of anxiety. The characters don't behave like "normal" people do, but there's some sense of honesty to these characters.
