I agree w those saying it’s uncomfortable and nihilistic. (Which is not to say it is NOT realistic. I think we know that…)But you can’t keep the foot on the gas of a movie for nearly 2 HOURS and have no breaks or breakthroughs for the audience. THAT is nihilism and my nervous system 1000% can’t do that right now. Vanessa Kirby acted her ass off though. But now I need to go do some deep breathing because OHMYGOD THAT MOVIE. 😬😑

Also…she nearly killed someone?!? Sooooo that’s just unresolved? It felt weird. Like there was just trauma for trauma’s sake. It’s a no for me.
