I loved it. That being said I'm not sure I've would have loved it if not in this stage of life.
SPOILERS: It made me feel special and wanted. It made me feel like just because I didn't make all the right choices, I was still valid. It made me feel that regardless of the choices I made I still just want to feel loved, heard, and appreciated.
It was the first movie I've seen with such a big message and they portrayed it so clearly. Got hot dogs for fingers? You still care about your relationship and being valued/ special in your partners eyes.
Edit: reading the other comments, I have no trauma or issues in my life. I have a great job, I'm secure with money, have a wife who has loved me for 10 years. This was just a great movie.

To say that I experienced loss in 2021 would be a gross understatement, but this movie, as crazy and weird as it is, helped me understand feelings I didn’t understand until after having watched it. This movie is better than some therapists I’ve used.

I get this. Like for me city of god is one of my top 3 because they used local kids as actors.

It’s Top 3 because they used local kid actors? Not because of the story, direction, etc?

Lol this is r/movies, not RottenTomatoes.com critics section, tHeY uSeD lOcAl AcToRs is what I’d expect, nothing deeper analytically
Edit: OP is valid, I’m jesting that the explanation is an odd reason to make it a top 3 movie…

Thanks for this comment. It literally stopped me from a snide comment. Great point.

I respect it. My top 3 are also weird, but “they used people locally” is an odd defense for why you like a movie…… lol

To go full out, mine are Hanna (cinematography and score and locations are amazing), Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (idk, its got a place in my heart), and right now Everything Everywhere All At Once, my third changes a lot.
Edit: the American version. I appreciated the acting. Wish they had finished the fucking series with Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig.

Dredd, ESB & Shaun Of The Dead.

I haven't seen Hannah or Girl.

Ohh man, Hanna had the Chemical Brothers do their score, I think it’s a good movie. Veryyy simple plot.
What’s ESB?
Darthbx t1_j2fbsa0 wrote
Empire Strikes Back.

I remember Hanna cuz there was another similar movie at the time. I saw neither. I'll add it to my list of stuff to check out.

It was a great movie and already one of my favourites. I was told afterwards by a friend, so it was like a strawberry ona cheesecake.
