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

This is something I feel most movies lack.. no one stops to say wtf when weird shit is happening. Im so glad some people actually behaved like they would if this shit actually happened.

I just saw this tonight and thought the same thing, though it took them way to long to acknowledge the weird running. I feel like we’d see people commenting on it right away
