    I was nervous this show would be too icky for me and was really impressed by how tactfully and thoughtfully it was done. Just a genuinely fascinating exploration of how people think and react and what the process is like in a situation like this. Also a great commentary on the danger of social media and often subconscious toxic masculinity. The acting was so honest, I felt empathy for every single character. And the one-shot format of each episode was riveting.

    For a film that was so quiet and subtle, I wasn't bored for a second. Amazing sound design, cinematography, acting, writing. The dark humor combined with genuine exploration of empathy/apathy made for a suspenseful movie night I was not expecting.

    It's nice to see Jim Carrey a bit more grounded in his acting. All the different townspeople were super sweet. Predictable, but a good watch.

    Fun watch for Valentine's Day. Super likable actors, fun action, interesting design choices. Kinda felt like the movie became a while different genre half way through but I was entertained regardless.

    But also ok why is Anya Taylor Joy's hair the absolute worst, who was in charge of that.
