As I was driving away from the theatre, I saw 2 kids unable to even cross the street without looking up from their iPads. Poetic Saw this in Regal's RPX format and it was magical!! This was so cute and def made me tear up when Jessie was under the tree. I loved this plot. Ngl the gang of Buzzes confused me but i was okay with their involvement by the end

"He already forgot about you" I enjoy transgressive film and understand that I do not endorse everything I see obviously but this film made me question myself for appreciating it so much... this is *art* and I'm engaging with it the best way i could think to Another fucked up French film for Bleak Week!! I do not know how I feel about the ending.. i think it was a little too much and not executed very well. Like this *really *came out of left field. My jaw was dropped. Also the actress playing Anais was literally a child and had to endure that?? I think I would've used body doubles or framed the shots differently. I can't support that young girl with NO prior acting experience or mentors having to do all of that. This is next level boundary pushing and i'm so conflicted and defeated trying to figure out how I feel. The ending does connect to things we saw previously pertaining to Anais's character development so for that I appreciated it💔 aside from that, wow the way this whole 3rd act built anxiety and fear in me was something else, especially the mom's irritability mixed with the shots of her erratic driving. Loved the shot between 2 semi trucks. This really shook me up. Everything about this is* wrong *but the message behind it is true and it's scary to be a woman. My heart was aching for Anais. She witnessed so much traumatizing shit against her will. I admired her ability to understand the patriarchy and all of its problems through everything. Her refusal to become a victim was also interesting. This was .. a lot. I need like 5 more days to think 😭😭 I feel like r4pe isn't often depicted in ways that aren't blatantly violent, drugged, or kidnappy. This movie demonstrates it in the form of coercion and obviously the fact ts was STATUTORY 😩🤢 there are some sick twisted mental games people play to take advantage and this depicted that very well One of the shots I found really interesting and stuck out to me was towards the end in the car, the camera pans to Anais's lower region and there's a mess of food/crumbs on there. To me, this again showed her love and dependency on food and how far away she is from the shit her sister was doing (so we thought).. basically how she's in a different place right now, has seen some shit, and she's leaning on food The score on this was so out of place I hated it Visually stunning and some great performances here

This is the pretentious artsy fartsy slop i live for Rewatch because I got a copy of the 4k uhd criterion! There is nothing like this.

Watching this in June of 2026 so obviously i'm sick of wedding movies/shows as they're a major theme this year for some reason. Also sick of seeing Charlotte Gainsbourgh since I endured Nymphomaniac 1+2 last week. I just was not in the mood for this at all so I'm probably being a little too harsh.  Anxiety and depression. Justine and Claire juxtapose each other. I get it but i found this slow, boring and i couldn't wait for it to end. It's really great, I'm sure. Just not now lol. I'll have to revisit.
