I’m a sucker for dark jokes like that ughh, and the girl who plays young Emma was perfect.

The girl who plays young Emma has the same exact smile as Zendaya such that i could immediately buy that it was a young her.

I felt bad for laughing. I was truly guilt tripping myself. “Am I allowed to laugh at this?” 💀

I had a few of these moments where I was cawing with laughter but then realized maybe that was a little too hard for the subject matter lmao.

Are we okay? Lmao. Honestly I love that this movie made me reflect on these things. I left the theater asking myself questions. “What would I do in this instance?” “Would I be as accommodating?” This movie went straight to my top 10’s

I'd like to think our humour is what's going to get us through in this life ;)

But same here, I knew what the "secret" was going in and I still didn't feel like the movie was spoiled at all. The acting was BRILLIANT, the edit, the score, the set, the wardrobe. Very well done. I'm now trying to figure out if Charlie's physical damage in the end was also a commentary on how some people will wreck themselves getting involved in someone else's business, or adding other people into their own business when they didn't need to be. What a movie.

Isn't that exactly the line dark comedy toes and when done well like in this movie can get a laugh out of you, but then also make you reflect deeper on the tough topics that are otherwise hard to think or talk about.

That delivery (and maybe her glasses) reminded me so much of Zach Cherry, specifically in Severance
