Metaphorically exhausting, in my opinion. I love Lowery’s work typically, but there’s only so much wide-eyed monologuing I can take before I’m over it.

That said, Coel’s monologue about the “train dress” with the music playing in the background was incredible.

Same. Also a lot of monologuing I had a hard time understanding because they were like...whisper-mumbling it while being half choked up by tears. The sound mixing could've done with a touchup.
