  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Jan 2025

  Watching this alone in a dark room had me so scared I could barely breathe. Terrifying and disturbing but in a way that had me glued to the screen looking for answers. I will be coming back to this for years.

  ★★½ Watched 23 Aug 2024

  There’s a lot of talent on display from this director and the cast. Joan Chen is particularly great. The first 30 minutes are very funny and depict 2008 adolescence with subtle care. But it then becomes clear how grating the protagonist actually is and the fun starts to go away.

  Janet Planet 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Jun 2024

  This evoked so many memories of my childhood. Being a lonely kid with a lonely single mother. Observing each other’s failures and successes. Becoming connected to the strange characters in her life. Witnessing her vulnerability while relying on her protection. These are deep characters elevated by excellent performances. A beautiful film with a unique sense of humor.
