my profound attachment to this movie is probably something i should unpack with a therapist... nonetheless, it is absolutely nasty, creepy, and reminiscent of all the aspects of girlhood i struggled with the most. u should definitely check it out :)

saw it yday by myself, havent read anything, and only talked to one friend abt it so far, but initial reaction: i really liked it. at first i was kind of ”yawn white feminism” “yawn voyeuristic dom fantasy” but i liked the grayness of it and how clumsy their sub dom relationship was at first. that felt honest and funny. and though i guess the sex was important to the movie, it wasn’t really about that. ultimately, it seemed that puritanism and corporate feminism and the masking it encourages became the villain. and that i can get behind. i look forward to watching it again or hearing from others and seeing how my perspective changes.
also i’ll watch nicole kidman in anything really and the shots of harrison dickinson in the tank w the little gold chain is my kinda female gaze.

this film is especially gut-wrenching if you've ever had an unhealthy codependent teenage girl friendship

It's the gift that keeps on giving. Perfectly iconic and campy. And when you're finish, you can check out Bill Hader and Fred Armisen's hilarious parody :)))

exploitative? maybe. But i think that's a risk with any portrayal of a vulnerable subject. imo Donny's storytelling was careful yet incisive. I think it centered more-so around his own acquiescence, at times even explicit encouragement, and self-realization. As for Fiona Harvey's interview, the casting and acting was def on point...

if theres one thing i can't stand it's a one-dimensional ass piece of fruit. Like on that can only play on one note, has no depth in flavor. A bosc pear for example (abs hate them, worst fruit!!)
but plums are sweeet, sour, divinely juicy
