The internal push/pull between me coming around on Taylor and thinking she comes across as a generally good and thoughtful person who doesn't deserve my kneejerk scorn and me also trying not to get taken in my the slick confidence scheme that is the modern pop-star documentary was a real work-out!

It's hard to tell what irked me more: that mangled title or the fact that Lara Jean, Peter, all their friends, and (once again) Lara Jean's meddlesome little sister. Justice for John Ambrose. Gimmie a movie abut Holland Taylor's days as a Pan Am stewardess.

[second viewing 12/26] I noticed the structure of the adaptation even more this time around. The way it coils most tightly around Beth at the center - DEVASTATING. Maybe the best film of the year, give or take a “Parasite.” Nominate it for Picture, director, screenplay, Ronan, Pugh, Chalamet, Cooper, Costumes, editing, production design, hair/makeup. Just 11 nominations, that’s all! Maybe cinematography too.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
