Pretend That You Love Me is an unflinching, painfully natural and endlessly creative and thought provoking piece of art. And I emphasise that last part. Never before have I watched something as non-film-like as this other than Bo Burnham’s Inside. I struggle to write anything structured or concise about this because Pretend That You Love Me is anything but that…so I’m not gonna bother to try write like that.

To those telling me to get a therapist, why on fucking earth would I go to therapy when I can just rewatch Thunder Road?
Surprisingly fantastic! Honestly didn’t expect much from this but I am pleasantly surprised. It was flashy and stylish in all the right ways, funny, and had a compelling and investing story with hints of genuine emotion. Really liked it.
4/5
Not only is this completely and utterly terrifying, but it’s also seems like something which actually happened between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman! Half expected this to end with “based on a true story” when the credits began to roll.

I can’t rate this. It’s so much more than a star rating. Films, pieces of fiction made to tell a story, they deserve to be rated. This is something else, something special. This is a true, real, terrifying, brutal, beautiful and human story about life and death.
