To be fair, though, I have experienced immense pain and immense joy in the past 2-3 years of my life that most people I know will never get to (or be forced to, thankfully) feel, so I have found that I have been burnt out or numbed a bit to most art that I interact with. My feelings of “not hitting hard” are probably an anomaly, but I understand that and also don’t give a shit about a stranger’s opinion online unless I am baiting them or genuinely care about their response.
I’m just confused why you watched it in several different sittings. It’s not really a long film. Probably didn’t help your enjoyment of it either.
This felt almost subversive in how they actually wrote the husband handling the situation in a healthy mature way (while still being understandably visibility upset) This felt like "what if we took the premise of a typical romantic melodrama and showed how mature adults in the real world would handle it?" and they actually reference it in one the scenes where the husband is like "if this was a movie I would be the evil white American husband trying to keep you from the love of your life"
I will typically search a movie to see if the people I follow have anything interesting to say and found this: Wayyy harsher of a take than I have but I agree about the dialogue. I did like the dream conversation though
That dude is always posting hot takes about popular things with actual artistic merit. It’s like it’s never enigmatic enough for him. For what it’s worth, I do appreciate some of Joshua’s takes but he is way too preoccupied with appearing like he has some kind of obscurity medal. I personally think this was in my top 3 of the BP noms.
