I was at the premiere of this at Sundance 2024 and it was 1) probably the best movie I saw at the fest. 2) one that stuck with me all year long despite (at the time) only watching it once. Watched it again last night and still love it.
Here’s a pic from the cast Q&A at the premiere for cool points.

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!!

brilliant. beautiful and funny and heartwrenching and silly and all around fantastic. the more i think about this movie the more i love it. tells an unconventional tale of self-confidence, self-sabotage, regret and jealousy, etc etc the ending was a bit silly but i can look past it lol. what a fantastic cast and fantastic production. they frame things throughout as if it were to look like a stage production only for that to be the eventual main plot point. one of my favorite scenes (if not films) of the year

Really fascinating, weird, dark, while also being incredibly funny and charming. unlike anything I’ve seen before & cool soundtrack. Can be incapsulated by this letterboxd review:

I’ve been trying to watch Spike Lee’s “Girl 6“ for literal years and I finally got to watch it on this website. They’ve got a ton of rare, out of print, or otherwise hard to find movies available online.

I’m a merchandise designer for bands and my small dream is to see someone I don’t know wearing something I designed, even better if it’s not at that band’s concert. Not sure whether I would say anything to them about it or just keep it to myself
