Just watched this for the first time. Look, I know people love this movie but I really didn’t think it was that scary.

A combination of waking up way too early and noticing a movie was leaving Critieron at the end of the month brought me to this low-key charmer that’s taps deep into the awkwardness of adolescence. What film I’ve been meaning to see for decades will my next round of sleeplessness bring me to?

Perfect movie for eight-year-olds who are also college students.

Kind of thought of this as second-tier Scorsese—second tier being a still pretty high perch—until this recent rewatch. When I got to the monologue I felt like I was watching pretty much a perfect movie.
