    Breath taking. I wish I could convey just how this movie made me feel. I was wrung dry emotionally. Walking out of the theater and back into the real world was weird and confusing. Things didn’t feel the same. I probably should end my day here. I don’t know what to do with myself.

Bo Burnham: Inside is a special he shot over the course of a little over a year spent in quarantine.
