guess who got all cozy just to watch alan play another character who gets abandoned/cheated on/left in the most ‘in the loop’ lookin ass movie and didn’t even get a good ending 🤭 if i ever watch this again it’ll be too soon. 2 stars bc sweet old man pajama’d alan rickman calming someone down from a panic attack is now permanently seared into my brain
