Really would have loved to see more of his neighbour I really think he was the most enthralling thing about it. Too bad the whole film was actually based around the miserable old Git. Reeked of weird sexualisation of women. Was so great when that guy punched him and left him in his car in a fallow
That Lolita shit was so fucking weird???
I just really can’t stand any kind of weird misogyny like it’s already ruined to me. In what world would these women behave like this
Whatever Good luck wanking for the rest of his days
