Letterboxd — Your life in film

even dumber the second time around

had potential but dear god the dialogue was so bad can millennials stop trying to write gen z slang into high school movies

oh my fucking god this was SO STUPID the entire thing rides on the audience caring about this america girl but gives us no time to get to know her and does nothing to ensure we care. like genuinely i did not care whether she lived or died and even without that the plot is almost incoherent and structurally a complete disaster. can they please stop making these movies

i can’t believe i haven’t watched this film in like three years it’s so important to me

why did i watch this this was so bad i literally hate this book

top tier ghibli. truly cemented my appreciation of take me home country roads

TOOOOOOOO FUCKINGGG REALLLLLLLL

dear god this was so stupid

god this movie is so stupid and it’s so important to me

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

this was certainly well shot and stylized (sexy end of first act title drop especially) but something about it feels… very icky. especially with how they handled mollie and paul

“i wanted to say, in another life, i would be happy just doing laundry and taxes with you.”

im sure if you’ve been on the internet for any period of time you’ve seen this poem that frequently makes its rounds— the orange by wendy hope, the ending line of which is “i love you. i’m glad i exist.” this film makes me feel the same way that line makes me feel— glad i exist, and happy to be doing laundry and taxes.
