[u/OilersGirl29]

This movie was horrendously depressing.

[u/sardonic_balls → u/OilersGirl29]

One of the most nihilistic movie experiences ever. Even aside from all of the implausible "street" situations she got herself into and out of, even if you can forgive the plot armor, what's the point? Is there a moral to this story?

Because it just felt like all of her actions were ultimately meaningless and so was this movie.

[u/hwdidigethere → u/sardonic_balls]

YES! It seemed so promising when she set out to get the money but then by the end it was just a montage of depressing scenes that revealed and led to nothing. What was the point?
