    That’s probably the right answer for me as well. It wasn’t necessarily one big laugh like some moments, but everyone was into it and the laughter just kept kind of rolling throughout the whole scene. Absolutely one of my favorite scenes in the film.

    Biggest laugh in my theater was the kick and I’ve almost never heard more deafening silence moments after

    Not sure if it was the biggest laugh in my screenings but I laughed the hardest when Jessica said she googled “art therapy” and bullshitted the rest

    There is a DVD quality version with good subs floating around.

    I LOVED this. So much to unpack. Just fantastic all around.

    Trying to decide if I want to go rewatch this on a big screen or do my second viewing at home so my parents can watch it

    so are celebrities not allowed to enjoy one of the best movies of the year, even if it critiques their very nature? that seems like a pretty odd stance.

    I’d be interested in hearing what uber wealthy people who like the movie liked about it. I have met a few people who think the message is that both families are equally parasites, which is some real powerful ideology at work there

    this take would be a lot more spicy if chrissy hadn't apologized for this ten times over.

    I don't think this is meant to be a "spicy take," rather a genuinely rebuttal against certain criticisms that have been raised against the film. The point stands with or without the quote tweet, which I'm sure is only there to contextualize it in the current discussion and could be interchanged with any other person who hoards and flaunts their wealth.

    look i'm not going to defend soft-brained queen of the libs Chrissy Teigen but she's hardly the worst offender.

    I have more questions about what Obama or Elon Musk saw in it than I do Chrissy Teigen or John Legend.

    There was a generation of Wall Street leeches who modeled themselves on Gordon Gekko and Tony Montana was a pop culture icon. People miss the point, sometimes intentionally.

    A bit over-simplified, but close to how I feel about somehow going “gotcha” on a rich person liking a movie

    After watch #4 I've started thinking about whether this is my all time favorite movie and it... might be? The brilliant individual acting performances, the cinematography, how effortlessly it switches between genres, the overarching themes, how much it gives you to chew on. it does everything

    Kinda dumb to think calling an uber wealthy person dumb on twitter is either (1) harassment lol, or more importantly (2) “looking for someone to blame instead of trying to identify what your contribution to the problem is.” It’s a pointless stupid gesture sure, but it’s a pretty huge strawman to claim that people who do it believe that it “exonerates” them ethically or whatever.
