    Feels like it was cut down to the barest minimum to be honest lots of inferences needed. I loved this. Seems to be thematically staunchly against technology and instead argues for body connection and community as a salve to capitalist idealist evilness? I thought, perhaps interestingly astute as it was filmed before Elon and trump maximised their joint slay but what do I know. I think the plot is some how not fleshed out enough but two characters could have been fully cut but I like it so much idc

    This was one of the stupidest films I’ve ever seen. Emerald Fennell doesn’t trust her audience with ANYTHING and overexplains the ending to the point where you’re more confused than you’d be if she’d just ended it 15/20 minutes earlier.
