This was a lot of fun! Every generation gets the “Scream” it needs. Anyone could be the killer, except in this case, everyone’s been to therapy. Everyone knows how to psychoanalyze themselves and others to a fault. And everyone knows how to gaslight, manipulate and trigger everyone else, even if those words have become so devoid of meaning that they’ve lost their value.
And the constant hum of background cellphone usage was perfect and reminded me a lot of “Unfriended,”…
“In another life, I would have loved doing laundry and taxes with you” and that whole speech absolutely wrecked me. It’s very rare that I’ve thought to myself in the theater that I was watching one of my favorite movies I’ll ever see. This movie is one of those rare instances. Every bit of hype you’ve heard about this movie is deserved. Best of the year so far. A beautiful, simply profound appreciation of life and all of its mundanities.
It’s a problem when I’d rather see a movie about any character other than Black Widow in her own movie. Also that cover of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” at the beginning is godawful
