movies have no purpose, artistic or otherwise, and people who watch them are little escapist worms. stay mad, keep tweeting.

    ★★★½

    this was so crazy.

    often hyperreal and uneasy, you're made uncomfortably aware of the gaze with visuals and audio that are as stylish as they are effective. i did think it was a bit on the nose at times, but retrospectively, never tried to be anything more or less than it was, so it was fine.

    at least 80% responsible for my longstanding fear of insects

    even better than i remember it being the first time i saw this eight, nine? years ago. also lived with a stepmother at the time and honestly, i'd have given it maybe five minutes of thought before taking the button eyes. if—and as long as—i'm a good child, she won't hurt me 😁

    actually i (empath) just want to recognize and validate girlypop for speaking her truth. obviously a trauma response to borderline and narcissistic neglectful parenting which directly leads to the development of codependent dysfunctional relationships. anyway, 100 more years of shadow work for you.
