this movie actually destroyed me. like he’s literally just a boy looking for love in the quietest, saddest way possible. my heart is actually in pieces.

As a certified indie fan I’ve been on a very unfortunate “indie romance movie that turned out weird” streak lately. I literally remember thinking “that’s well emotionally established” and next thing I know someone is biting off a live chickens head? Please Hollywood I’m BEGGING for a mindless romance where did all the mindless romance indie movies go??😭
