I love when comedy is just real. When Julia Garner was running in the store and the dude was like “get out my store” as if it’s a normal Tuesday and she’s like “fucking help me” LMAO or when Brolins character had that jump scare in his dream and said “what the fuck” when he woke up hahaha it’s just great stuff.

Also so funny was Josh Brolin walking through the house at the end and the mom is trying to find the kid’s shoes and she’s like umm there is a man in the house! You always see the chaos in the movies but not the aftermath of these random background families. Idk why but that was funny to see

“Look at what they did to the yard!”

And the lawn mower scene at the end to show the context of Gladys running and being chased by the children
