the timing of me watching this movie at this moment in my life was right :-) i enjoyed the deliberate slowness of this movie, and the way the emotions felt very real - never in your face or all at once, but slowly appearing and disappearing and emerging again. I laughed out loud at parts (like genuinely belly laughed!) and also cried. so so glad Da’Vine Joy Randolph got her flowers for her beautiful performance, and honestly Paul Giamatti was robbed ‼️ Dominic Sessa also really blew me away. I really can’t believe it was his film debut

this was so incredibly subversive of any expectations that I had for it- I hadn’t seen a tonne of stuff about it other than the trailers that came up on ig reels. Still, about an hour into this, I was absolutely blown away by how many questions the film could ask me without me feeling uncomfortably overwhelmed.
of course Sebastian Stan was brilliant but Adam Pearson shone through the cast tenfold, his natural charisma and magnetism is so unique. also I adored how much they committed to making this look like an late 2000s celluloid New York indie flick, super dope choice.
I’m content with letting this film stew in my brain for a while before I watch it again but as it stands, I‘m pleasantly surprised by this!!

This movie provides the warm and fuzzy feelings I so desperately need. I also love that it takes place in Massachusetts and there are so many shots of familiar places in Boston. Even though it’s a newer movie, it makes me feel really nostalgic. <3

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
