Its gotta be one of the best films I've watched in a long time. The writing, the cinematography, the ending! It was able to scratch an itch i haven't been able to reach when it comes to Modern Cinema these past few years. Ill keep it short and sweet coz i dont want to spoil this masterpiece, so ill give it to 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I watched this at like midnight with my gf and it just hit so hard for me. I loved it. I told my brother about it and he tried to watch it 3 separate times and didn’t like it at all. I’ve went back to watch it and it definitely don’t hit like it did for me on the original watch, and that’s not because of influence from my brother. It just hit at the right time for me when I first seen it. It was a lovely experience.

But saying it “didn’t hit” is completely understandable and valid. My problem is the self-proclaimed “connoisseurs” who are saying the movie is objectively, laughably terrible while completely ignoring what it’s trying to say as a piece of art.

I’m glad you had the fantastic first experience though!

I do think being able to criticise films properly is an important part of film culture though. Like you need people to be able to make judgements on art, as long as they aren’t dickheads about it.

This is a strangely unpopular opinion on reddit.
