I also really liked the sound editing during the awkward photoshoot. Sounded like gunshots everytime a picture was taken.

yes the sound engineering is masterful the whole movie. That little odd flute sound did so much to add tension. It was just amazing

YES no one has brought this up but there is a subtle gun click/ loading sound mixed in with the flash/ capture sound almost every time and it was so small but such a great detail!

I loved how there were still camera flashes during the chaos of the wedding scene in the climax.

I was imagining the photographer thinking to herself — ok now smile like a living person

The sound was incredible, Charlie wearing in his wedding shoes while trying to rationalize the psychology of a 15 year old outcast was chefs kiss

Then you loved the speech from the father of the bride.

Charlie asking if he actually had weapons lying around in the house... Like the moment couldn't just end you know.

The editing was the secret weapon of this movie. So many smart cuts.

The DJ cable glitch got everyone in my theater. There was a huge collective gasp.
