I absolutely love Yorgos and this was by far my most anticipated movie of the year. And I 1000% need a second watch before I solidify my thoughts on this, but for now I will say two things: 1) The character of Don and Aiden Delbis’s performance absolutely floored me. He’s the heart of the movie, and seeing a character with autism played by an actor with autism in a movie like this was really cool. I’d delve into this character more but it’s hard to talk about what I wanna say without spoilers, so for now I’ll leave it at that.2) People have been saying this is Yorgos’s most accessible film and plays like a broad comedy…in what universe? Am I crazy? This was so bleak, like way bleaker than his two most “accessible” films (Poor Things/The Favourite). Genuinely confused by people saying it’s his most accessible, but maybe I’ll feel different on another watch.  Anyway, I will formulate all of my many thoughts after watch 2. Definitely a lot to unpack here!!!!!!
