For some people, it may seem like an exaggeration, but Dommy’s family is exactly like mine. I just relate to everyone so much because they’re just like my family.
Anne Bancroft’s only written and directed movie is just incredible. I believe a lot of people feel represented in it.
I love you, Dommy.

“Boy…how'd you like to stuff one of them in a doughnut…“made a few homemade pizzas and garlic knots with the family 🍽, watched moonstruck to pregame, and then watched this with some ice cream 🍨 for the full proper viewing experience… an underrated classic ♥️

essentially, this is my Joker (2019)
