Crazy ass movie with a terrible script. The only good thing was that lingering piano that time from time popped up with the same note.

the things i watch for the pullmans :')

this was so ass, but goddamn was bill a feast for the eyes. i don’t like what this movie portrays and what it intends to propagate, even so it was still somehow entertaining.

fuck that ending. they revealed the plot twist too late, to the point that it had no impact.
