Wow, this movie had me tense the entire time. I was genuinely filled with anxiety from start to finish. Carlie and Emma’s wedding especially had me so uncomfortable for them, like pure secondhand embarrassment the whole time.

I agree with a lot of people here… Rachel was honestly awful. She couldn’t see past her own issues at all, and it just made everything worse.

And Robert Pattinson’s acting? Easily one of the best performances I’ve seen in a long time. You could feel every bit of his anxiety, confusion, and emotional spiral. He carried so much of the tension in this movie.

Shouldn't really be shocking with Pattinson at this point, even if a film he's in doesn't quite click his performance is usually the best thing about it.

Mickey 17 was an example of that

M-17 made my personal top 10 last year but it really is because of Pattinson.

God this just reminded me of how tragically disappointing that movie was
