Igby Goes Down

i dont know what it is since kieran culkin has a pretty distinct look and like way of speaking, but i can never remember roles he played until i look him up and am like "wait! he was ____ in ______?!??!" like what range. he's just so good at playing little weirdos with like smth pathological about them. i would rewatch, because i like kind of knew what the movie was going for but at the same time not really. like very reminiscent of little bird (despite the fact it came out years beforehand) in the sense that it's a coming of age about someone trying to break free from the life path they were giving. and also mommy issues. what a stacked cast though. i thought it was very funny, or maybe that's just like the little sibling in me thinking snarky, slightly pessimistic one liners are funny. also it's the little sibling in me that just relates heavy to the concept of being this forced black sheep of the family and also just like fucking around while everyone is trying to be serious and adult. also short king supremacy i love kieran culkin despite the fact i apparently have face blindness. like ofc he gets two bad bitches in this movie even tho his character is a minor like if i would risk it all too tf.
