    ★★★

    Great example of a movie that, on all the technical & production levels, is so well done and riveting, while also being a movie that I would probably never watch again. The cinematography and sound design is incredible but it’s also dark & heavy and there’s a few scenes (shoutout Jesse Plemons) that left me pretty shook up.

    Currently going through a break-up so my emotions are not FULLY intact but damn, this movie fucked me up! 

    Five minutes in, I knew I was going to love this movie and despite a few odd choices & hiccups along the way, this is a trip well worth taking. Both leads are superb (Daniel Kaluuya, I love you) and there’s a fun variety of supporting characters that help breathe life into a movie that feels so genuine and real. It’s truly…
